ni men hao
Well I have had my summer vacation and now back to work. As some of you may know I have been a little stressed about this whole return to China and all the stuff that goes with it. Maybe unnecessarily but it is the great uncertainty that usually gets me going. Anyway each day another piece of the puzzle is put in place and I think all is well now. Allowing for the usual chinese stuff of language communication and they drop stuff on ya at the last minute. Other than that it's all good right now.
I am happy with my apartment, the job seems good, the people good, the boss good. I have just got home from my first day on the job. And if anything I was bored out of my mind for most of the shift ( 1pm to 9pm).
It is a new franchise so students are not yet busting the door down. Although I am sure they will when they hear I am here. I had just 2 class sessions today. One with only one student (10yr old girl) and the other with 2 business types at 8-9pm.
The young girl was ok english, not good but ok. The business types spoke very little english. Kinda fun really. They are so so keen. And you know in the end I can say any dam thing I like and they really have no clue. Not that I do but there is always the option to do it.
Anyway end of day 1 and all is good. Hope there are many more good ones. But just a little busier would be good.

well at my school for the first 6 weeks I got into a pattern of only being at school for the lessons and the rest of the time I went home or did shopping or whatever-I had found a bike and fixed it up and rode round exploring. After my return from the May Holiday I got this written note from the school boss saying I was supposed to be on the school premises all the time! That really pissed me off as I was just expected to sit at a desk and twiddle my thumbs I guess. Anyway I installed skype and messenger and spent my time chatting to friends in Oz.
Some of the teachers reckoned that they were there from 6.30 am till 9.30 pm!
