Back again.

I've been "off air" for a while as my computer has been playing up. I'm not sure what it is - but in the end I've bought a new one! And still struggling with some things that I have decided must be associated with the "system" here.

In any case I am back on line, with more features available to me with this computer than with the other one. Still some challenges though. For a start, negotiating getting the computer with non-English speaking salesmen was a challange in itself, and it took me 6 and a half hours to pick it up. And I need to take it back for some adjustments.

But at least I can do some things, and I've got a pile of stories and photos so there's plenty to do.

This weekend is May holiday weekend, and we have four days off. I am going to Shanghai with two other English teachers from Australia, so expect to have a busy time. No great plans - just to look and learn a bit more about that part of the country.

So afte my lessons tomorrow (Wednesday) I will make a hasty retreat and get to the bus station in time for our bus to Shanghai with my new suitcase - just a little one that will beuseful for such a short trip. We are due back in Shaoxing on Friday evening, so will have another two days of rest. Sounds great to me.

Hi Di,

You have certainly had your problems. Are you sure you want to go back for a second term?

Regards,

Peter
