Service Hours For Confirmation

This week

I started to say goodbye.
For several weeks I am saying goodbye to all to all.
And this week I play to my students.
exchanged gifts: they had shirts, songs, cookies, chocolates, cards with their names written in Chinese by hand by me, playing cards in English and Chinese. I was placed
best, as always, a photo album with a beautiful package they wrote in English and Chinese, thousands of smiles, applause, beautiful words of affection, "a thousand kisses, kisses, Stella, we love you We're going to miss muach muach "a bunch of photos. Suddenly I hear that one girl says, when he sees that hug to another: "我 也要 抱! (Wo ye yao bao) I also want a hug! And since then a succession of photos with hugs. And again I hear "我 也要 接" (Wo ye yao jie) I also want a kiss. And then began the string of photos with kisses.

And so we spent two hours.

writing on the blackboard: 我 会 想 你们 (wo hui xiang nimen) I'm going to miss
They immediately below: 我们 爱 Stella! (Wo men ai Stella) I love Stella.
And the most sensitive of all, hugged me crying.
and showed me a song and we read a bit from one of my favorite Chinese books.

And now after all this I started to miss more here. I started to miss even without having even longer.
is strange, I thought, I'm going to miss this place! During my early days I thought that I could not stand even a month in this city. So small, so gray, so boring, so ruidusa starting to be from six in the morning.
And I knew my students. That was to the other side. The most beautiful of this place they are. Her warmth. Especially their smiles. They are cool, kids.

If I'm going to miss that! More than anything in this country, more than anyone in this city. True
Tongling is an interesting city.
It is also true that in this city have had the experience sweetest and most moving of my life.
learned more than ever.
learned with them. To be more patient
than ever.
to listen more.
A smile all the time. I'm going to miss

Tongling, this city that no one would put in the Lonely Planet because nobody would come on vacation.

我 真 会 想 铜陵! I really will miss Tongling!
