March in Review

THINGS I LOVE: MARCH

1.       My new home in Huangshan (Tunxi)

2.       My new employers, Moon and Mr. Wong (they consider me part of their family now and they always leave decisions up to me and say “you’re the boss.”)

3.       The new school and the eager, enthusiastic new students

4.       Mao Doufu, also called Hairy Tofu (an incredibly delicious type of tofu I’m told is found only in Huangshan)

5.       Mts., hiking paths, river paths and nature in general

6.       Flowers blooming

7.       Having four days off a week
