Today i slept until 8..so nice! At 1pm im going to a hospital, cause today and this weekend we are filming for the tv-show. Im so excited!!

This wednesday i coloured my hair, just highlights, and it was scary. I picked a place close frome here with an english home-page but when i arrived no one spoke english..ahh..they started to show me pictures in magazines and i tried to explain. 3 different peolpe came and tried to understand me. After about 15 min finally came a costumer who spoke english and could translate. She said ‘ i think they got it’ and i was hoping they did. Then it took them 3 hours to finish and a lot of reading on the box of the colour. Felt like it was the first time with blonde hair..i dont know…but the resault was good=)

In school everything is good except that i dont understand chinese and dont know what the other teachers are talking about. I know they sometimes talk about me and i wish i knew what they say. Last week we went on a trip over the day to pick small tomatoes and radish on some fields. it was fun and the kids were really excited. I tried really weird candy, like dried meet, seagrass and egg cake. Not really my thing. The weather was great, 25 degrees, and after trying to help the children picking  red tomatoes( they took the green ones all the time) we went back to school in the bus. Someone threw up, probably to much candy, and another girl threw chocolate at me.

This week i also meet a chinese girl, Ping, and her italian friend. She was very nice and funny and we talked about life. She wants to move to Canada after the summer. I guess every chinese girl or boy i met here want to go abroad. She also told me about her parents that lives in middle of china having a field with watermelons. She gives them almost all her salary and just keeps her self what she needs to survive. Something else all the chinese people i met here have in common is the fact that they all wants to live together with their parents. One girl i met is working here just because she wants to make good money so she can bring her parents here in a couple of years. Thats really sweet but i have hard to understand it myself. Another thing is marriage. In school they often talk about marriage, who is married, who is getting married and bla bla. The girl im spending most time with in school is getting married this year. So she has to quit heir work. Why?,i asked! And she said getting married takes so much time and you are really busy, buying things and talking photos and having partys. Like a full-time job!

Now i also have another job, streetstyle photographer. I hope i can start next week when im free from school 3 days, holidays!

Puss o kram!!

Det är alltid lika roligt att läsa om vad som händer i Beijing. Tråkigt att alla inte är lika trevliga i skolan men så är det nästan på alla arbetsplatser, dessvärre. Men det var roligt att höra om ditt nya jobb. Skicka gärna några bilder så vi får se. Hoppas ni får en härlig vecka och var rädda om er. Puss o kram Mamma o Pappa
