Salty Ice Pops and Jamaican Weddings

It was one thrilling day! So why the strange title..just wait.

I found out that you can get salty lemon ice pops in China. Not the best taste but ok it does serve a purpose for trying to lower body temperature in the Chinese heat. I think it might suit the Scandinavians quite well. Since they like salted licorice for dessert than this might be a good treat. I think it might be my first and last time trying that one.

Now the whole Jamaican wedding thing is pretty hilarious. On Wednesday's I teach an advanced English training class with my fellow Jamaican colleague. He asked the students to put together a presentation on something about Jamaica. Somehow..there was one odd student that introduced the country quite well and then brought up the real topic he was to speak about: Jamaican Weddings. He pointed out how Chinese and Jamaican weddings are similiar?! Well they are according to him and the Jamaican guy who was invited to a co-workers wedding about 2 weeks into working with the company. The best part about the whole presentation were the cute graphic images he put in. It was a nice Chinese touch! Oh the joys of teaching English with a Jamaican.
