I stand corrected

Youtube is still blocked. Will be for ages/ever i think. Meh.

For those who are unaware, i'm going away for the weekend at the beginning of May. To some lakey area about 5 hours away. Will be nice to have a change of scenery for a bit. I need a bit of refreshment at the moment.

My roommate had a great time in Beijing with her family. Visited a part of the Great Wall which was less touristy than the part we've been. I might do the same, there's an Eastern part of the wall in the city i'm in so i might make the effort for some quiet time on the wall.

Been paid for the first time since being in China, about time i hear you say. Well i'm thinking the same thing. But nevermind, i have now and just in time for me to pay for my weekend away and buy my roommates birthday present.

Been looking into flights to Shanghai. I think my plan is to finish here on the 30th June, go to Shanghai for a week then back to Beijing for a week to finish everything i need to do then i'll be on my flight home from Beijing. No idea if i'll be doing these things alone yet or not. But i figure i'll contact everyone in the programme in those areas and see if they'll be around to stay with or whatever. That's the thinking right now. Subject to change of course.

Anyway, missing home lots, especially now the weather's warm, all this summery food i miss from home is beginning to taunt my mind. But the Chinese do summer quite nicely too. In fact we had a BBQ on Sunday afternoon. Had a great time in thhe park, football, hackysack, badminton, BBQ food, ketchup, beer and warm weather. We were there from 3pm till 9pm! So much fun! Oh and a spanish salad authentically made by a spanish guy. That was good! Although it took him a good hour to make!!!

Peace out homies. xx
