Friday today and my last day at work before the October Autumn break. Tomorrow Yingying and I will travel by train to Shenyang. On Sunday I will fly to Hong Kong and she will go to stay with her auntie in Shenyang. On Monday I will take the 70 minute boat from HK to Zhuhai to go and stay with Steve and try to get a feel about whether Zhuhai would be a good place to work and live as after we have spent a few months in the UK next Spring the plan will be to come back to South China if we can

Not such a busy day today - did some prep work in the morning and then one class late afternoon. Calm before the storm, seven or eight classes tomorrow. Coming home from work this afternoon I say the aftermath of another prang on the roads. A scooter lying on it's side in the middle of a crossroads where there were no lights and no give way signs, I am surprised I don't see this every day - everyone assumes right of way

Absolutely drained after a day's teaching which started at 0800 and finished at 1840 with two 90 minute classes and five 45 minute classes. Slept well!

China - Day 591 - Jinzhou


China - Day 590 - Harbin - September 5th 2017








China - Day 589 - Harbin













China - Day 588 - Harbin

It was the third of September, a day I'll always remember, yes I will. Massive day at work today and then straight from work, we had a hairy taxi ride to the train station where we had to run to catch the train to Harbin. Finally arrived at the small hotel in PingFang late at night. Went out for something to eat and drink. Plenty of restaurants still going strong in PingFang at midnight. Harbin is the wild west. It can be no coincidence that Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and Ha'ErBin are both in the North-East

China - Day 587
