Rammy's Wedding

Pouring the Wine - we thought it was Champagne, but to our shock it wasn't - rather terrible stuff actually.

Rammy & Wife

Rammy manages the private school where we have bee doing quite a bit of extra work.

Hot Pot for Tom's Birthday

This is our favourite Hot Pot Restaurant - as well as the food being great we get free beer, so its all the more our favourite - hot pot is great winter food.

Hot Pot

For those of you who may not know, Hot Pot comes from the City of Chongqing, which used to be part of Sichuan Province - you have a split pot in the middle og the table wich is heated. One side is very hot and spicey chilli soup, the other side is chicken soup. We cook out own meat, vegetables and different types of tofu in it - yummy.

National Day - Paintings

We had these done in Three Horses Sqaure - they are really cool - a copy of mine is on the hompage. We caused quite a crowd to appear as you can see.

Beer Drinking with Jackie

An easy race for me - first to drink half a bottle - I wanted to do the whole bottle, bhut Jackie could hardly manage half.

HotPot with the Design Company

The next lot of piccys are with a Design Company that we taught English to over a three month period - it was private work and really a lot of fun.
