If I don't keep myself really busy I get very lonesome...it's not that I wish I were home, but that you were with me. I like that I am here. I just wish I had loved ones to share it with.
So far teaching is going well. Some classes are better then others of course. I will be glad to move on to the next week. Since I have to repeat the same routine over and over it becomes very monotonous for me, and I strive to maintain the same level of enthusiasm for each class as if they were the first to receive the lesson... its a struggle.
It's hard to think that things there are beginning to cool down and you are preparing for winter... here every day is like sweat city. AT LEAST 80 every day.
I have a mosquito chasing me every night and I wake up with all kinds of bites on me.
There was some excitement last night as my neighbor, Nigel from the UK, discovered a couple rats in his apartment. He is deathly afraid of them, so he and Arthur went on a hunt to kill them, but they disappeared. We have each been given packets of rat poison since.
Tonight the four of us walked around a bit after having a nice meal costing the equivalent of about one dollar each. We like to go to Gua Mao, the super store; and to the Walking Street... which is just that...no cars allowed, and many people go there to shop. About every other store is a shoe store. Tonight there were many groups of elderly people doing Tai Chi. It was interesting to watch.
I bought some bleach to clean with. My refrigerator has an awful smell to it, so for the past two days I have been trying to air it out and clean it many times to get rid of the smell... hopefully the bleach will help.
