I'm feeling much better today and I think my tummy bug has almost completely gone, thank god. HOORAY! Today I went for a bike ride around the quiet part of the city. I'm becoming more and more relaxed riding my bike around Zhangzhou. It's safe as ... Read more >

I've caught a fairly standard and inevitable travel tummy bug. I was warned and did all I could to prevent it, short of wearing one of those plastic full body radiation suits. I haven't eaten anything suspect, I have only drank bottled spring water, ... Read more >

I'm a very emotional and passionate person, so I have a tendency to get very home sick. I miss my family and my friends more than anything. I spoke to two of my close friends on MSN tonight, Sarah and Emily, and it made me realise how much I miss ... Read more >

This weekend we drove 100kms north west of Zhangzhou to the city of Longyan.
Geographically, it's quite a small city with a population of about 3 million (small for a Chinese city!)

I've decided there is one cultural difference that I can't understand, no matter how much I try. Eating chickens feet and duck head - sure, knock your self out people...but, when it comes to public toilets WHY can't they spring for one you sit on as ... Read more >

I've gone along to a few more classes over the past could of days. As a general rule the students are lovely, but we had a few yesterday that were quite inattentive and one or two that were down right rude. This happens in Zhangzhou, just like in any ... Read more >

The standard mattress here in China is hard as a rock. It seems the one in my little apartment is no exception. That's just the way Chinese people like to sleep. In the summer a lot of them will just sleep on straw mats on the floor. So I guess I should ... Read more >
