AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm so excited I can't put it into words.....IM SPEECHLESS! I can't believe that a year ago I would just think of China as "Oh, it's a big country, i'll never go there." And now I am! You don't realise how exciting going to a new country can actually be until you get the chance! AND IM SAYING CHANCE WELL TAKEN! Its only one more night until we head off tomorrow at lunch time. I just was at the city and I saw the BEST Australian souvenir shop, so I walked in and bought two aussie teatowels, two aussie pencil cases and 2 books with photos of Fremantle, Rottnest and Perth in (so I can say, this is where I live)!

Better catch up on sleep and finish off packing,
Bye,
Emily

P.S. Soon to be, Ai Mi Li (my chinese name) :D

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's soo close until China!! I can't believe we will be on the plane to CHINA in 2 days and 22 odd hours!! I'm in a homestay with either Ainsley or Tori because I really didn't want to be in a homestay alone. Mrs.McKay and Mrs. Lowe have given us China booklet things and it has facts about the places we are going to and diary entries. Today at assembly: Ainsley, Tori, Milly, Sam and I got presented with a certificate saying we are Honorary Youth Ambassador's for Western Australia. The certificate was from Colin Barnett, Premier of Western Australia. I am now a Honorary Youth Ambassador! I might make another post later but right now I am packing! See you, bye, Emily!

CHINA!!

I'm so excited! We are going on Monday so its a week until CHINA!! Woohhh..... We were in the Melville Times yesterday and they had a article about us going to China. Oberthur Primary School and Bateman Primary School are the schools going to China.



I am going to start packing soon, just in case I need to buy anything before we leave. Speaking of things I need to buy, we are supposed to buy our homestays a gift (which I haven't bought yet)!!



We meet at the airport on Monday at 1pm and then we have a stop-over at Singapore. When we get to China, we go to the school HuiJia Private School and we have a Welcoming Ceromony! Straight afterwards we go to our first homestay for the weekend. It will be really busy those first couple of days and I hope I will be able to cope with all of it!
