Planting tree in Livingstone American school…Shanghai

Planting tree in Livingstone American school…Shanghai

I sent some requests via CS( couch surfing ) to find a place to stay in Shanghai. Darcie who as an American teacher in Shanghai wrote me back saying she is not able to put me up but she is able to help me to plant a tree in her school with kids. After she talked with Dan who is her flatmate, Dan kindly invited me to his class to talk and he organised a tree to plant as well.

Today I met Dan in his class and he took me to a class where 4-5 classes had gathered to participate in our workshop and talk about trees. I should say that we really had a lovely day and finally we planted a tree afterward. Dan is going to help me to collect the stories kids are going to write about trees and send them to me which is such a kind of him.

The funny thing I faced there was a very funny Malaysian boy who just kept asking me questions about some funny stuff. he couldnt stop asking and some of his questions was really funny and I had to intrupt explaining pictures and answer him for many times.

Last Update About Me

April 23
After that hard challenge I did to cycle from Antofagasta to Iquique which was a strech of 418 km, I was totally drained, even though I didnt complete it and I just cycled like 350 km but 2600 m of climb. That much climb in 36 hours cycling with little rest was so hard with my 65 kg bicycle. 
Then I took a car all the way to Santiago and now I am here waiting for my appointment in Brasil embassy. Then I am hoping to be able to finance my journey to go back to Iran to visit my mom. It has been more than 13 months that I am outside and it is time to return home for a visit, to have my vacation.
