Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya,

It took a single random text from his friend and within minutes there was a huge birthday dinner organised by the Chinese English Teachers which was a much more exciting night than what Travis and I had planned....a trip into the city and dinner at KFC.

I'm glad you had a bloody great night!
Happy Birthday Mate!

***This blog is also for friends, family and those who read my blog who have been wondering where I have been over the past month since my last blog from Xingcheng city in Liaoning Province. I still have several blogs to catch up on but the short of it is that I forgot about my VISA Medical and had to race back to Fujian, I then got EXTREMELY sick with a high fever for almost a week which left me dizzy and weak for the following week or so. Since then I have moved to a new school in Jiangxi Province who have never dealt with Foreign Teachers before, so there has been some 'issues' when it comes to apartments, salary and other 'things' that Chinese 'Leaders' take for granted that 'lower' Chinese won't ever think about questioning.

I am not Chinese and I will always question and demand it be changed or fixed.
It is a great school and the staff and students are wonderful.
Things are 'clearer' now and we can all now move on.
Several 'Past Blogs' will soon follow this.
Beers N Noodles toya…..shane
