Our internet connection is shoddy but things are going well

I have to type fast because the internet will cut out in 17 minutes

Just a quick post to check in:
- we haven't had internet in the past two days
- it is still raining all the time :)
- we got to work in the factory for several hours yesterday so that we could get a taste of what the workers' lives are like. We'll elaborate on this later on but it's hard work, i don't know how they do it every day.
- English classes are going great and we've developed some amazing friendships with some of the students! Many meaningful conversations have taken place and we feel privileged that the students trust us enough to share with us and have shown interest in our values, perspectives, and beliefs.
- our team is still bonding well - we love sharing ridiculous stories and laughing together all the time

Alright, a better post and photos to come the next time we have internet (which is unpredictable haha)
Please keep thinking of us and the interactions we have with all the workers

Bye!

Dear Mel and the team,
Glad to hear your updates!
If you like some current songs in Mandarin try claymusic.org or www.0595.org which is a very good site for music and other related resources.
