My apartment in Hangzhou and Halloween and Christmas 2007,2008



The scenery of West lake is amazing and I took this photo in spring time .West lake was so close to our apartment,approximately took 15 minutes by bike to reach there.
West lake is surrounded 3 sides by hills and approximately 100.40 acres ,has 2 causeways3 small island and 10 scenic spots.
There are ferries any seasons ,especially in summer to Cruise on the lake and it takes you around 5 hours ,include visiting Islands and drop you on the first spot at the end.








The last apartment I had in Hangzhou was quite nice though.The style and the foundation was old but despite that me and Wijbren( my Fiance) both are interested in art .
we went to artificial flower and plant market few times and got the branches and leaves and waxes and with the tools we had at home,we were quite busy few weekends to decorate and make art crafts for our ugly walls and covered them with art stuff we had .
These photos are result of our experiments.There was a sea food shop very close to our apartment which most of Saturdays after work we used to go there and make a hard task eating Lobsters.they were so scrumptious and juicy and Worth struggling the spics and dirty hands.

our school usually organised parties for Christmas and Halloween .We had to prepare and dress up and organized some activities for students and free dinner.How that sounds!
But to be honest that was really great BEING WITH FRIENDS ,HUMMING SONGS FOR FEW DAYS WHICH WAS STICKING IN YOUR HEAD .
MAKE UP AND HANG OUT WITH COLLEAGUES AFTER WORK TILL MIDNIGHT AND THE FOLLOWING DAY,WELL FEELING HANGOVER RAND LOUSY AND CLUMSY SHOW UP.




More over you can imagine if you would receive some especial gifts as well.
Some of were more creative in decorating clothes and arranging some songs and lyrics and sometimes they were a little sarcastic in their hymn and songs...
I remember in this photo we were so excited and a bit merry as well.
In this photo I am with my students and i helped them with their face painting and masks ready for Halloween.
