Productive weekend!

Since Chris was busy with his friend all weekend for the first time since I arrived here I had a weekend with no plans, nothing I HAD to do, nowhere I HAD to go, and so could relax and do some stuff that needed doing.

I spent Saturday productively, studying Chinese and getting through 2 chapters, and getting a bit of exercise. Then in the evening I watched a film with Geoff the American before we went out down to the town centre for some social drinks at Laowaitan. Meeting up with some Icelandic guys we know and sitting around chatting rubbish and drinking until 4 or 5 am when people wandered back. 
Sunday was a bit of a late start and I woke up to Gary (Australian) at my door asking for an Ipad charger for his friend. I went down and got chatting with them and their American friend Tim, we grabbed lunch together before Tim shot off back to Shanghai by train and I tidied the house a bit and got ready for another week!
