Great blog- keep writing. It will be fun to see and hear from everyone who stops by. I’ll keep stopping in to see what you are up to.
I mentor a new teacher who is from China and teaches Mandarin here in our school.
I love hearing about China.

Hi Katie – you must be very smart to have your own blog. Glad to hear that you are having fun in China. I look forward to hearing more about your trip and the fun things that you did. Uncle Mike
What a wonderful idea to have a blog for your adventures as you live in China. I live in South Carolina in the USA. Love your picture at the top! Keep us posted on what you are doing!
Hi Katie, I am looking forward to hearing more about your adventures in China. There are a lot of children from China at my school. I am always amazed at how brave children are when they are in a country that speaks another language. Have you learned many Chinese words? I will share your journey with the kids at my school.
What a good idea to open a blog to share your Chinese adventures!
It’s a great opportunity for learning about a different culture…
Possible you can share with us about all the beautiful things you can see there
Hey Sweetie,
I enjoyed “re-living” our trip together! We sure had a great time. That bike ride was fun… and long! But ice cream along the way sure helped! Looking forward to seeing what you write next!
Love mum
Now we know what a ‘blog’ is! We need to know what you are doing and seeing – who with, when, what and where! EVERYTHING. Leave nothing out. Enjoy all your experiences. Love, Granny and Papa.
Hi Katie,
you have made a super start to your blog, I am wondering what you are going to do next? I am a teacher in England and I teach students the same age as you so I will be showing them your blog this week and asking them to write to you about what life is like in China.
I hope you have a great time and look forward to reading your writing!

Hi Everybody,
Thank you for commenting on my blog. I am going to answer some questions that some of you asked.
Diane,
Yes, I did celebrate Halloween at my house because I had a cold so my mom stayed home with me and played games. She also made a path of candy to a bag of candy. It was fun.
Liz,
Some of my favourite things in China ithat my dad is the principal of my English school. My mom is the really, really fun teacher that hands out candy when people mark MBFT’s (Math Basic Facts Tests). What I do not like is that there’s not much food that I am used to, and I had to leave my friends behind in Canada.
Tricia,
No I do not know that many Chinese words but I do know some. Every day we do Chinese and I learn different things. I am good at numbers.
Silvana,
I am going to put some pictures of my family in Xi’an on my blog next. Maybe some words to go with it.
Hi Katie,
Papa and I love the picture you chose for your blog, we can’t wait to see when you add some more pictures especially of you in China. I guess it is hard for you to get used to the food but I am sure that you will. I also love to hear you speak the Manderian words that you know when we speak to you on Skype. Keep up the good work.
lots of love, hugs and kisses.

Hi Katie,I am your dad’s 1st cousin Tisha from Barbados.I love your blog. Keep up the great work. Can’t wait to see more. How are you enjoying China? I wish my daughter Nikita and I could visit China one day soon. Keep in touch. I love and miss you lots and lots. Love,hugs and kisses from Barbados,West Indies.Love always Auntie Tish xoxo
Hi Katie,
It’s very close to the holidays and I have been thinking about you all. I am twitter friends with your dad and I think he’s just so smart! Better not tell him I said so. Twitter is way cool because you can be friends with people who think like you do even if you never get to meet. I found this link and thought you might have fun with it. I hope so! If you make a movie send this link to me!
All best to you.
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! I imagine Santa got there just fine…he still makes it to my house every year and my daughter is 23 years old! Hope you are doing well.
Happy New Year Katie!! I hope you have a great year in 2010 as your adventure in China continues. I also hope you have a great vacation coming up. Looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing some of your photos. Take care. Miss you tons. Love Uncle Mike
Hi Katie! I got your letter!! It came on December the 22nd! I had a great Christmas, I hope you did too! Wow your school had a talent show, GREAT! It’s too bad our school didn’t have a talent show last year so that we could have sung together. Today was my first day back at school. I gave all your letters to your friends, they were all very excited to get a letter from you. I hope you have a fun time on your holiday. Can’t wait to see your pictures! Especially the ones river rafting and being nibbled on by a tiger!
Miss you, Kyra
