Monday is the day of the monster speaking class - all two hours twenty-five minutes of it! Yippee. And the chalk here is soooo dusty and regularly breaks when you're writing with it. Which is nice.
Apart from that, I went for an hour's bike ride yesterday with Jared. The further we got away from the centre of the city, the dirtier the kids got! We never did make it properly out of the city, but we got to the outskirts and some nice leafy parts. I'd really like a better bike to be able to make it up the hills a little bit more easily, and I definitely need some new break blocks...!
Last night we met up with a PhD student from the University of Western Australia. Russ is here working on his thesis for a few months in China. He is based in Kunming, but he is studying the effects of modernisation the growing economy on rural areas of Yunnan. It all sounds really interesting, plus he showed us a place where you can get good pizza!
On Wednesday the Foreign Affairs Office is taking all the foreign teachers out for a meal - should be fun! I'll let you know how it is...
