Made it!

We made it back to our flat today in a torrential downpour safe and sounds, including the site of the recent train crash! The train was not bad, the girl next to me spoke english so that was cool, and was also going to our little town! 
The setup was actually a 4 bed private cabin but they sat 6 on the beds below and then all the luggage on the two top bunks, it was quite roomy actually and you could shift about and lie down when someone moved around. There was an old guy in our carriage who alternated between singing badly to his chinese music and putting it on speaker from the shabby radio reception on the train with lots of static, a bit annoying, so i put music on my phone on until he got the hint! haha.

There was also a young kid with an ear ache and we were thinking of offering an ibuprofen when the mother pulled out a massive bag of drugs, i forgot just how bad the chinese are! not that they seemed to make any difference in the crying....

Went straight out with Elaine for MaZhanJianBao, I really missed them! so tasty! and then came back and watched a film and are trying to adjust to local time, a tough task.

We don't start teaching until the 5th though so I have some time to, well, make some lessons up!!
