Maybe...

...not such an easy and simple life on Gulangyu...me thinks I spot a bunker...and you know what those are for! (Or 'were' for, hopefully)

Easy and simple life...

On Gulangyu Island...

First thing I'm gonna do...

...when I get home.

1) Go to the backyard and play fetch with Lance (dog)
2) Go to Beto's restaurant and get some Mexican food (oh how I miss you)
3) USE MY MACBOOK PRO ON THE INTERNET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!!

Losing hotel?

Interestingly named hotel on Gulangyu.

Colorful little boat...

...near Gulangyu Island.

Sick

Looks like I have another cold. But, considering I only had 1 for all of last year, that's not too bad.

Most frustrating thing...

...is even if the students learn absolutely NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING and they fail every test, they STILL graduate and get a certificate from the school. So, what's the point???

Twitter

I'm usually slow to adopt these web 2.0 things...but I'm finally on Twitter. You can also read my twitter updates here on my blog. Just below the links section.

Woohoo!

3.2 months until my contract is finished!

The count down

9 weeks of teaching left.

Nanshan Temple in Zhangzhou

Last month I went to Nanshan(南山） Temple in Zhangzhou with my friend. As usual I forgot to bring my camera but my friend brought hers, so here are Dawn's pictures. She's a much better photographer than I am.

One year

I've been in China for about one year now. I have about four months left.
