Day Sixteen – Sunday 22nd Feb

Okay, so, Another day of street teachin’ today, and as promised, I took my camera. Tim also took his camera and gave it to the CTs who took some snaps while we were teaching. So a few of those shots are thrown in so you get to see my pretty white face and pretty round […]

Today I woke up at about 7am for another webcam chat with the folks. Then I watched some Heroes / Lost to pass a few hours waiting for Tim to get his lazy ass outta bed. ( anyone who knows how much I sleep in England will know this to be amazing. ) We grabbed […]

Okay, so yesterday I may have tweeted that a group of Shaolin monks had told us about a kung fu demo being held at the sports centre on the night. Long story short, we went and nobody there knew what the hell was going on. Aya was with us when we were talking to the monks, so […]

So, The old saying of being careful what you wish for stands true. I wished for something interesting to happen so I had something blog about, and I woke up with a small resevoir where my living room floor used to me. My water cooler had pee’d all over the floor in the middle of […]

Okay, okay, I promise this blog will get interesting [again?] soon! But lately its just been a lot of lazy days. But, probably going to Shanghai next week, so that should be interesting! So, yesterday…. woke up, got breakfast, lounged around, watched some LOST, etc. In the evening we went to Fangfang’s house for some […]

Another lazy day today! Managed to wrangle Tim outta bed at about 10:00am. Then down to the market. Most of the good stalls had gone because it was so late. Then I saw some juicy-ass looking meat-on-a-stick things on a stall. Yum! So, I ordered some, and then the lady rolled them in some curry […]

First of all, a quick snap from Sunday’s tea that I forgot to post. Nom nom nom. Today was a lazy morning. Me and Tim met up at about 9am to wonder to the market and pick up some shizzle to eat. I went for my usual fried-bread-stick-things (20pence) and then while walking past a […]

Woke up at 7:00 with a tiny headache, so tried to sleep it off a bit so stayed in bed until 7:30. Hurried to get ready and scurried accross the road to school. Headache grew and grew throughout my first lesson and then felt really, really sick. Migrane. 🙁 Usually my migranes only end one […]

Yeah, so, no pics from yesterday, but it was a very busy day. Work starts at 8am, so I was awake at 7am, then ready to leave by 7:30. Faff’d around the house a lil’ and then walked over the road to school. The basic structure of each lesson was to have a lesson for […]

Okay, so yesterday we met up at like 10am to head to Xi’an. A short taxi ride to the bus station, then the 1hr bus ride to Xi’an. As always, clicky clicky the picy picy to embiggen. ^ on board the bus to Xi’an. Well, technically a coach… but you get the idea. ^ The […]
