Tuesday is the new chill day - nothing going on.
Lunch with the colleagues, talking about ages, life experiences. Most are in the 20s, but the other English teacher is a bit older and was teaching at a university in the Philippines before coming over here. Her FIRST TIME in China!
Still feeling rough, but managing. No real strength.
Big university beside the hotel and LOTS of Hello Bikes there… can’t access them cause I’m not allowed in. 进不去！
Should real live teachers be replaced by earphone and cell phone technology? Oh, it’s just an idea… to implement!
And how’s the formaldehyde in your new digs?
