Mad country!

Woke up at half 9 for our 10am appointment, well start as you mean to go on! And jumped in a taxi after waving the address at the driver. He pulled up outside a tower block and pointed at it before pealing off.
As we stood outside the ruined health club I texted our contact to say we had arrived. He eventually met us and showed us up to the 16floor of the tower block, the whole floor seems to be company owned. Inside it was old but ok but could have used several coats of paint and their motto was missing a few letters.
We then got given time to check our email before reading through 30 page introductory 'guides ' written in broken and self contradictory English before filling out forms we had already filled in again and having numerous copies of our passports taken.
We then got shown to a place for lunch then left there to eat.
Since we realised we needed to book our room for another night we had to call the place we stayed, this was tricky as all the numbers seemed broken. Eventually we spoke to the owner who sounded confused an told us to phone another broken reception number. In the end the boss promised to sort it out so we left it.
We then opened a bank account each and then had our orrientation talk which involved having the contract (we have already signed once) read again to us before making sure we knew not to speak about the law or government.

After that our 3 day introduction and orrientation was over. Weird.

It sounds as though we can settle in the school for free before going traveling again before the term starts on the 10th of Feb. Cool! Might try to get to the north and Beijing again!

After that went for some shopping, food and a coffee, bought a jacket as I needed something smarter than a hoodie for work and it is nice if a little pricey. Nice to know even out here an xxl really is too big!
Also bought a tie just in case we need to be uber smart!

Grabbed a taxi back and chatted at reception for a bit before heading to bed.
The hostel is nice, a small hotel with one room of dorms in, very Chinese!
Now lying in bed phone blogging while there is a girl sleeping on the opposite bunk and two guys below sleeping with their bloody lights on and the one below drowning out my iPod with his snoring...again!
The ac is also heating the room to 28degrees and since I'm top bunk I'm boiling!
