Well guys this is it, my last ever entry in this journal from Jinan. I can't quite believe it's this time already to be honest... It seems to have gone by so quick. The last few days have been amazing. I've said goodbye to some great friends which is really hard, but they've all been so kind and generous, that I can't help but feel happy. I'm going to miss this place. Having been here pretty much every day for 2 months... it's beyond bizarre thinking that I'm n...

What a couple of days! The trip to Penglai and Chang Dao was amaaazing. I will eventually get around to putting the pictures on here, for those of you not on Facebook... but there are almost 200 of them so I'll need some time! The trip started extremely early, at 4am.

I was very frustrated this morning though because I was informed that my 6 weekend classes that I'm not here for next week, are ...

Got up for my 9am class which was Oral English. Grand total of TWO students. Not my best turnout ever... Wasn't impressed. When it...

Ahh nice picture of me and the city of Jinan at night! We went up Thousand Buddha Mountain last night, it was lovely! Was a shame that I couldn't see it in the day-time, but to be honest, with the sky quality here I probably wouldn't have seen much!

Was rather impressed with my effort of cl...
