After four weeks in Zhuhai the things that I miss are simple: a good English cooked breakfast, loose leaf earl grey, walking in the peaks with my friends, access to my friends, crisp autumn leaves, the dawn chorus, the sound of the wind blowing in the trees, the colour of the red November sky, changing seasons, hanging out with Patti in pyjamas well into the day ( me nagging), my garden, light beams, - access to places like café 9, the quick walking paths I know in Sheffield between the allotments and so on. AND, I’ve realised now more and more that I miss my books and access to words that inspire. I’ve given away all the books that I brought to China, except one. We had too many and they were heavy. I read 2 ... read more

We dashed out of our hotel to make our early morning flight, snagging whatever food we could from the hotel's breakfast counter. We boarded with relative ease, and I found out I was one of the lucky winners of a middle seat in the central isle. Almost immediately after liftoff, they started a movie, all the windows went down, and they served us a meal. This would be the first of several hobbit-sized meals, served at hobbit-like regularity; breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, ect. They seemed to coincide with the beginning of each new movie, and reflected what the particular movie would be about (I knew "Kungfu Panda" would be coming up next when they served us a bowl of ramen noodles). I found that my first international flight essentially reverted me back to my infant days. ... read more

I know, I suck at blogging. I have been in China for about two weeks now and I have only thus written an entry. Since I cannot possibly recount everything that has taken place since then and now, and believe me a lot has indeed taken place, I will try and sum up as best I Can. After we landed in Hong Kong we took a bus over to mainland china. For those of us that are a bit weak with geography Hong Kong is actually a little island off the coast of China. We reached Zhu Hai at about 3 am and got up the next morning at 8am for TEFL (teach English as a foreign language) class. Class class class. That is pretty much how Zhu Hai was spent. 8-9:30- TEFL class 9:50-11:50- Chinese ... read more

It’s been a busy past few days to saw the least. I’ve barely had time to email much less blog. And when I did, the pictures just wouldn’t upload. So here I am finally. We’re finishing up in Zhuhai now. I’ve already had my Chinese test, and Monday I had my teaching presentation. It went alright. We’re supposed to act up like real kids do (we’ve had a bit of fun doing that since as kids, none of us ever did that—we were always the goody two shoes studious ones). We accidentally broke the chandelier twice, just to give you an idea. And we had people hiding under desks, stealing the teacher’s stuff, talking on phones, writing inappropriate pictures on the board, lots of note passing, even a fight. Hilarious. Even the critiquers were in on ... read more
