Dogs, KTV and Chombee Square. Life here in China is continuing to blossom for me and make me smile everyday. The weather has picked up (only to about 20 - 30 degrees that is…) making it incredibly humid. I now know why air conditioning units and fans are made in China.

I have been in China for a mere 2 weeks and it already feels like months! I was in Yangshuo doing my teacher training, this place is very Westernised!!! Full of Aussies, Americans and those darn Canadians...Lots of bars, late nights, bargaining, expensive prices and pizzas. Had a great time there though with the other "english speaking" teachers, a good way to settle into China. I had some nice and not so nice experiences here! The nice involving, wat...
