Great to hear from you again Hi Merv, thanks for the blog. I shall keep this on my work computer, as there is a lot of good information. Safe journey home. David
Thanks, Dave! Glad you liked it! I meant to include it in the blog, but be sure to use C-Trip if planning to travel in China--excellent site that very importantly includes easy train booking, which is essential for travelling here.
Cheers!
Merv
Great read Hi Merv: I so enjoy your stories, always quite hilarious and always very insightful and educational. Why not stay on an extra few months? Ringo is dead ... threw me for a minute, felt my heart sink, thought you meant 'the' Ringo (peace, love and understanding man), you know 'the' Beatle. Best Dave
Bucket list Wow,what a great teaching /travel trip you're experiencing, inspires me to take a tour to Shanghai and environs (although I dislike the term "bucket list" that would be at the top of mine).
Thanks, Teresa! Glad you lied the blog--yes, you should include a China trip on the "b*cket" list. If you liked NYC, you'd love Shanghai...
BTW: sorry I won't see you and the gang at Chirstmas...I'm sure you'll manage without me.
Great read. Love your writing. Will send an email and get a better picture of how the teaching session is going. Say hello to Jin, Ms Tan, Belinda, Ms Guo and everyone.....
Thanks Catherine! Glad you enjoyed it--much appreciated. Sure, I'll say Hi for you--Ms. Guo just came back to work after mat leave this week--maybe next Monday proper?
Cheers!
Smiling Can't help but smile while reading your recent entries about laundry, wifi, restaurant, umbrella, etc. So glad that you are writing your experiences. You will long remember this unique time in China. Take care, Merv.
Hellooooo, from the hundred acre... Hey Merv ! Thanks for the notes and for this blog. I also am a big fan of your style and of course your 'humour'! I will say however there may only be a few of us who remember the drawer under the seat of the desks. I couldn't hide my smokes in there cause I would never find them, it was such a catch all. Having said that , maybe more of us with that memory than the number of folks who might say "Yippeee" to Duck Necks!! Keep posting, stay wee and warm and lint free. Cheers

Sincere condolences on the passing/flushing of Ringo and "Surrender" has my best of show vote. Hilarious!
