So what will the New Year bring? I am flying to England on January 29-30th. When I get back from England and meet up with YingYing in Shenyang we are going to Hainan (Southern-most part of China) for a few weeks vacation. Then the current plan is that we get back to Shenyang and YingYing and her brother will think about opening a small restaurant there. If that plan comes to fruition then I will continue to live between China and the UK and continue with my online teaching.

China3 - Day 89
New Year's Eve walking to Joy Plaza to look for a new coat for me and a new something red to wear for YingYing. Wanda Plaza yesterday didn't have what was needed........
Passed another pile of share bikes. These are apparently notorious for the oversupply in many Chinese cities, although I haven't noticed anything particularly here in Yantai
Bought a new coat for me in H&M and waited in the coffee shop for YingYing to hunt down a new pair of red trainers....

China3 - Day 87
No money, not funny. No money in my Bank of China account now so I have had to start taking out of HSBC. The charges are stinging. 0.50GBP withdrawal fee and 7.00GBP currency transaction fee when I withdrew 2500RMB

China3 - Day 85
We have found a better room in the hotel which is only 120RMB per night (about 15GBP) and includes for breakfast. It has a window. We are going to be holed up here for a few weeks and it is very cold outside. English-style snowing this morning......
And a little bit more seasonal weather throughout the day...............................................

China3 - Day 80
Unable to load a video today. Have been looking forward all day to the Southampton game away to Huddersfield and am pleased to report that it was worth staying up for. 3pm kick off in Yorkshire means an 11pm kick off here. We won 1-3. A tremendous effort by the lads and I was able to watch it on YingYing's iPad (I can see all premier league games for free here in China) and listen to the simultaneous commentary on my pc coming from the Saints FC official website! Fabulous!
