Sorry for the Debbie Downer post last week, and thank you to everyone for cheering me up! This week was actually much better. I realized that I have no choice but to spend a fair amount of time by myself for the time being (even more so now that my boss is finally returning to [...]

Ugh, this week has been a bit rough. For the first time since we arrived I have been feeling pretty homesick. It’s the beginning of summer and all my friends are getting ready for fun in the sun. I can’t even remember the last time I saw the sun. Many of my friends are graduating [...]

I think I’ve reached a bit of a plateau in excitement about my year in China. I learned about this in my TEFL class, and I remember when my brother hit this point when he was teaching in Peru. When you first arrive everything is so novel and exciting. The months before you leave you [...]

Hello! I think I mentioned last week that I was going to be picking up extra shifts AND working Saturday this week, so it has been pretty hectic. Luckily, I had Sunday, Monday and Tuesday off so I’ve been able to relax and get caught up the last couple of days. It has been so [...]

Hooray! Today is my birthday! Kevin and I celebrated by going out with some friends last night. In Chinese culture you foot the bill for everyone on your birthday, so originally I kind of wanted to keep the fact that it was almost my birthday on the down-low. We’re two days from payday and the [...]

Riding the Peak Tram is an obligatory HK experience, so after I submitted all my visa paperwork I decided to head that way. The tram is a fun, cute way to get up to Victoria Peak, where you can score amazing views of the rest of HK island and Kowloon. The fact that this huge, [...]

Oh, man. Just found out that it’s not quite time to relax yet. I thought I just had to make it to Friday and I was home free, but alas, no such luck. Next week there is a holiday, so I get a day off of work! However, to compensate I have to work Saturday [...]

Hello all! Feeling very relieved because this week is the last week I have to work overtime! The new guy should be arriving tomorrow and ready to take over Arthur’s class by next Monday! March has been a crazy busy month with Kevin and I both scoring several tutoring gigs on top of me working [...]
