Pictures from China
As promised, here are some pictures of our latest outings in China.
The first one is of the dancers at the Sichuan Opera.
This second one is of the musician playing his Er-hu. (An instrument with two stings that is played with a bow. Maybe K-town could pick this up with her stringed instrument background!)
This picture is of the mask-changing dance. This doesn't do it justice. The dances wear these masks that they are able to change with the flick of their heads. Not only does the entire mask change color and pattern, but they even go from being full-masks to half-masks to nothing and then a new mask appears. It was an awesome peformance to watch and I really hope to get to see another one while I am here!! (I want to figure out exactly how it is done!)
This last picture is of Thad and I after the Sichuan Opera. We went on our anniversary, so this is us celebrating 8 years of wedded bliss!

About Me
-
- Name: Michelle Ross
- Location: Chengxian, Gansu, CN
In America, I teach 8th grade English and reading and really enjoy spending time with middle school students. Some people think I am crazy for it, but Marsing has a great group of kids and I love being a part of their lives as they grow up! Right now I live in China and teach English and teaching methods to students who want to be teachers. I am here through Peace Corps, which I think is a fabulous experience and something that more people should look into doing! The application process can be a bit of a pain, but it is well worth the time and effort. Check out Peace Corps and give something back to the world that has given you so much!! Teaching runs in the family, as just about everyone is involved in education in one way or another. My dad is retired, but he was a teacher, counselor and principal for 30+ years, my mom is an elementary counselor, my sister and husband are both teachers and my brother will finish his teaching degree this next spring! "Those who can, do; those who can do magic, teach!"
