There are moments when I question my sanity! When things go wrong especially. I have returned to China, and in my first few days have endured some frustrating events reminding me of the challenges I faced when I first arrived back in February.
In my apartment I have had trouble with Internet (well, I had no connection for two days), my hot water service is not working, the TV is not working, the toilet bowl moves, my mobile phone is not working, and so on. This is China. It is the beginning of the new semester and as the foreign teachers who have been before make their way back, or those making their first foray into this life arrive,things are not always going according to plan.
I like my new apartment - I no longer have to drag my things upstairs to the fifth floor. I am on floor one! I've met some new teachers. I've already met up with friends and acquaintances from my last visit that seems so long ago.
A new beginning though.
Today I went with some French teachers to look around the city. I visited some parts I had not seen before too. It is still warm and humid - but reasonable. The very hot and humid weather has hopefully gone.
Here I am for the next five months.
