Weekend Update

Been a hectic weekend, so I haven't had much free time to post.

Friday - Our former facilitator and everyone's favorite Dutchman, Wouter, came back to TIP for a few months. Wouter and I have an interesting past, both of us keep trying to one up the other in pranks. This time, I think I have the upper hand. Because I was admin in the summer, I was helping to register the summer volunteers, including Wouter, so I had to make copies of all their passports. I kept a copy of his, scratched out any identifying numbers and then made about 30 more copies. On each copy, several facilitators and I drew various faces on the photo. Everything from Pippy Longstocking to Mr. T to Leprechauns. Then we put them all over the room where he'll be staying complete with a museum style plaque entitled "The Many Faces of Wouter."
When he did get here, he enjoyed it a lot and all the facilitators had a big feast at his favorite nearby restaurant.

Saturday - I spent six hours in a recording booth on the other side of Beijing for an English language program for Chinese students. It was long, incredibly boring, and overly heated but it earned me some extra scratch to come home with.

Sunday - Sarah came back up to Beijing for her last two days in China so we hung out in the early morning (her bus arrived at 6am!) got some breakfast and then I went back to the recording studio in the afternoon. 2am finds Sarah, Holly, Dan G. and myself at Lush watching the NFC divisional championship.
