That's great. Over.

Have you ever watched the news when they have a correspondent that is overseas and there is a big delay for them to get the anchor's questions? You are watching the correspondent nodding away, but the anchor has stopped talking for some time and then they finally start to answer the question. Well, that is kind of like talking to me on the phone. Apparently there is a huge delay for what I say to get to America. My mom and I talk frequently and sometimes the delay is minimal and other times it is unbelievable. The other day the delay was so bad that we kept talking over each other and the conversation was very hard to maintain. So we decided that the best way to work this would be for us to say what we had to say and then say "Over." Oh my gosh, it was so funny. We laughed so hard. The conversation went something like this.

Margie: How was your day? over.
Katie: not too bad, I taught a few classes today. over.
Margie: how were the students? over.
Katie: overall, not to bad. over. oh, I want to say something else. over. I mean not over yet. the students don't want to talk when I ask them a question but do when I don't want them to talk. over.
Margie: wait you can't say over and then start talking again. over.
Katie: ok. over.

And of course through this entire conversation we were laughing so hard. Needless to say the conversation didn't last too long.

Listen to my stories

So I have recently found out about a way for you to hear my stories. I find when someone tells me stories I usually laugh more than when I just read them. So I decided to go back and record some of my stories for you to listen to. Click the link below to go back to the original posting and then click the new link at the beginning to hear me tell the story.

I thought you might like to see some of people that I work with. So here are some pics.

Koey and I are cubicle mates. She teaches English. She is so funny!

Natalia sits on my the other side of my cubicle wall.
This is her first year at this school and she teaches English.

Mr. Tom (his surname is Tom) when I lived here before he is the one who gave me my Chinese name. Kind of my adopted dad. (my dad's name is Tom)

Daphne is also an English Teacher. She takes great care of me.

May teaches English, too. She and I both love Fashion and enjoy spending time together.

Denise Jim (everyone calls her Jim) teaches English.

There are more, but those are the ones that I have attacked with my camera. They are a great bunch of people and have been so helpful in getting me settled in my life in HK.
