Macao 2: Local CAS Program

Wheeeee!

Harbin, China

Posted March 8, 2010 by Sandra Kuipers

Helloo y’all

we’ve just had our first day of skiing/boarding, and the first time skiiers/boarders seemed to have enjoyed rolling down the hill every 5 seconds. The coaches that we had were all experienced skiiers/boarders and were very patient with the screaming girls (…and boys), although they have told us occassionally that we tire them out (a few of us needed to be pushed/pulled up the mountain due to the inability to walk on slanted ground without sliding backwards).

All in all, it was a successful day (in the eyes of us teachers). Why, you ask? Well, we are happy to report that there are no broken bones, or missing body parts, or crying kids, just some very very tired students. Proof: it’s 9:15pm right now and they are in bed. I am also quite positive that they will be waking up with sore muscles, probably due to the buildup of lactic acid in some overworked muscles that were forced to undergo anaerobic cellular respiration (rather than the more beneficial aerobic respiration). But, I digress.

Tomorrow we will be continuing our skiing/boarding adventures and we will be skiing from 9am to 4pm. My guess is that they will be in bed by 8pm tomorrow. We might also be making a trip out to a nearby town to pick up some snacks and souvenirs.

Goodnight, and see you tomorrow!

      From Team Scuba: Trying to stay in the shade or the ocean so that we don't get to hot.
