Last Friday was our 5 year anniversary. We decided to celebrate with a two hour massage. It was fabulous! The first hour they massage your feet and legs then the second hour they do the rest of your body. We both enjoyed the massage immensely. We also enjoyed talking to the women who gave us our massage. I told them it was our anniversary. When they asked if Sam had bought me flowers or chocolate I quickly said no but Sam corrected me and said "hai meiyou"(not yet). I laughed because I knew he didn't have any plans of buying flowers. In fact, I had to remind him many times that our anniversary was coming up. One of the massage ladies also told Sam that he should touch my skin more because it was so pretty and white. (Oh yes! I love the compliments and advice to my husband.) Later that evening we had a nice dinner at a restaurant somewhat far from our house. On our return home who should we see at our subway exit but two ladies selling flowers?! What a break for Sam! He told me to pick whatever ones I liked. I felt even more stares than usual on the bus ride to our place. Everyone was looking at the foreigner with the flowers. (Thats me.)
Since the massage my sleep has been much improved. I think my mood has improved also. The night before we went I had my first real english class with 4 four year olds. It was crazy! One little girl incited the rest to total chaos. She would say "I'm tired. When is class over?". Then she would run around saying "class over, class over!" The other children would join in until I distracted them with some game or song. She also felt the need to hit whatever book or flashcard I was holding. So, of course everyone else did it too. It was a two hour class but it felt like a whole day of work. I want to teach the children english but it seems like I might need to start with some discipline. Sam is doing his first class tonight. I can't wait to ask him how it went.
