Mari & Bing

Thanks Ellie for all you blog pics of your Riverland weekend.......lots of good memories there for all of us for sure.
Am at home "sick" today, yes really SICK, something of a rarity for me to be bed-ridden; have a nasty germ which I can't shake even with antibiotics, so Ellie encouraged me to blog....
This is Mari (from Japan) and Bing (our Chinese student who you've all seen before). Mari is here for just two weeks through an exchange program at the College, and to help Bing with her Japanese.
Mari can actually cook! For those of you who have experienced previous Japanese students' cooking (Ellie and Neish), this was EXCEPTIONAL!
Well done Mari.
We also have a new Thai student "DO" so have a very multicultural dinner table. Do's family knows Ben's family. Ben was our longest serving student and whose family showed us amazing hospitality in Thailand last year.
