April 2014

April 2014 - Officially Spring!


Beautiful cherry blossom season!

Ice-cream with my co-workers.  This ice-cream chain is very popular and has many crazy flavours.  It is most known for it's honey comb flavour with an actual chunk of honey comb on top!


China town and Texas St.


Easter weekend
 Cultural event - making lotus lanterns
Baby monks at the temple

Taking the school's bus from one academy to another on Friday and riding with two of my brightest and most curious students.  The one on the left actually was making conversation with me instead of the other way around!!!


A little good deed for the other people living in my apartment building.  It's too bad that the next day when I went down to see if anyone received their candy and little note, all of them were taken down.  Hopefully someone benefited!
