So today I had the first experience of saying goodbye to one of my students! Cindy, the girl in the white skirt in thepic, is going away for 3 weeks and when she returns, I'll be back home! So it was our last class together today. She's part of one of my favourite classes, and it was so hard to say bye! I actually teared up :( She left, then came back and said goodbye, then left, came back, she did this about 5 times and gave me a massive hug. It's going to be horrible leaving all of them at once!

This week really has flown by... Can't believe that Beijing was almost a week ago now. Madness. This week looks pretty laid back compared to the last few though, so that's always good. Tomorrow is a free day, so I shall be resting!! Paul is off travelling somewhere - I would go but my funds are needed muchly elsewhere! I got to do the Great Wall and Beijing, so I'm a happy happy girly :)

Paul had a bit of trouble today, left lots of bits and pieces at the school after closing time, and then proceded to leave his credit card in the ATM machine. The system is stupid, after your transaction, they give you your money... but keep your card, and you have to press 'exit' to get it back. Of course for us, it's second nature to walk away once we have our cash in our hands. So Paul walked away.. He rang his bank though and they said it's been cancelled and no transactions had been processed. But I am very surprised it's him that's done something like that... sounds like something I'd do!

I went to be before 9pm last night... this work stuff is pretty tiring. I've made it later today, but that is primarily due to finding another CSI: New York DVD... Ha, you'd never know I was in China...! Off to bed now though, as I'd like to be up in time to maybe go through Jinan. It'd be nice to see it in the daytime, maybe take my iPod and have a wander :) Might have some pictures for you tomorrow!

Night all xxx
