Serving my pineapple and raspberry filled cake

My lovely fellow teacher Erika is sharing her photos with me. I did not have my camera on several important occasions and so here are some of her photos. The first photos are of the celebration I had with the other foreign English teachers.

L to R: Bob (from England), Thomas (from Washington), Erika (from  Michigan), Me.

Yummy dumplings!

The following photos are of the welcome dinner for Erika and I with the Baiyin Experimental School leaders. They were going to hold the dinner earlier, but because of a conflict postponed it. Before my last class on my birthday Lavender informed me that they would have the dinner that night so they bought me a birthday cake!
