I had a chinese lesson with Elaine 3 hours on saturday morning, we went for breakfast and chatted about chinese culture and learnt some chinese but when she left for lunch she mentioned we should meet the next day so we did and spent another 5 hours together learning more chinese, its great having a friend who can teach me chinese and someone I get on with well. But she is older than me, so scary that I'm getting on so well with someone who is nearly 30, makes me feel so old!
I'm trying to plan a trip to Guangzhou for the summer but trying to find a way to avoid the 22 hours train, but it looks like I may have to just suck it up and live with it, 22 hours in, 22 hours out, ouch! Flying is over $300 each way!
My sister will arrive in china this thursday so that should be cool, and next week I only have lessons in the new school so only 4 lessons so I should be able to show her around a bit which will be cool!
We went out on Saturday night, had a nice meal and played some pool (chris is better than me but I am learning!) before scoping out a few nice looking bars, Lingxi may have more of a night life than I thought!
Taught the young children tonight which was cool but just hard work and the older kids tomorrow evening, one more lesson to dream up before the holiday, then 3 more before I finish the term, but the creativity has gone, I need a holiday to recharge my batteries!
The speakers are playing "beat the retreat" on the horns and so that means its 10 o'clock here and time to head towards bed.
Good night!
