Holiday job

For some years now both Mulan and Miya have helped out with the family business.

We're Chinese4All, and throughout the day we have students of all ages coming to our home to have Chinese lessons in the classroom we have set up here.

With some of the younger students (preschool and primary age) Mulan and Miya help out as assistant teachers, getting involved in the lesson activities and role-modeling the language points.

A couple of years ago they also both had paper delivery runs, until the delivery contractors changed and they were no longer needed.

But now Mulan has a real job.

This summer she has a part-time job at Kyoto, a sushi restaurant at our local shopping centre.  She bikes there, and at the moment it's two days a week, from 7:30am until 3:30pm.  For the morning shift her main job is making the sushi in preparation for the incoming customers.

I'm hoping it's a transferrable skill, and she'll occasionally make us sushi dinners.
