never be lacking in zeal...: Photo Scavenger Hunt

I just realized there are a lot of things I haven't written about on here so I am going to do a little catch up today and tell about our Photo Scavenger Hunt last month with our tutors (our October Tutor event). We met all our tutors at McDonalds (the usual meeting place) and split into groups. Our group was 7 people, 3 foreigners (Pat, Amy and me) and 4 Chinese (our tutors and another guy Pat knew from playing basketball). We got our list and headed off looking for clues!

It was a pretty crazy night as the three Chinese guys really took initiative at getting all the clues! They were so determined but yet not real organized, or actually not at all organized. They would run off in a direction and we would just run along behind hoping there was a clue in the direction we were going! It was so fun though and we really got to know the members in our group. The tutors had never done this kind of thing before so it was really fun to see them laughing at the strange things we had to do and trying not to be too embarrassed. As foreigners we can get away with doing strange things but it is much funnier for Chinese people to do some of the things we were doing!

At the set time we met up back at the school to enjoy the fall snacks that were prepared (including some amazing home-made apple cider, actually everything is homemade here!). We sat around playing funny games while waiting for all the pictures to be loaded up onto a computer and then sat back and enjoyed the slide show of all the teams pictures. There were some pretty funny pictures. In the end, our team won the hunt!!! I guess the determination of our guys payed off! We took our dove chocolate bars as our reward and celebrated! The tutors still are talking about our scavenger hunt!
