I still couldn't face 'showering' in the toilet as it absolutely stinks in there.It doesn't have a working flush and has to be sloshed with a bucket of water afterwards instead of flushing.I felt so dirty and at least wanted to wash my hair so I washed over the little sink outside the toilet and felt dirtier than before.On the way to the bus stop Teacher Wang tried to help me top up my phone at a China mobile stand but they couldn't do it because it was bought in Beijing so I have to get a new number.

We learnt more rhymes with Echo and Alina and then had to do a test lesson.Jen went first teaching the class, which was mostly us adults and just two Chinese children.Then it was my turn to do a lesson.We both passed.They told us if we came back in the afternoon they would take us shopping.

We got the Bus 5 back to Miss Wang's apartment.I used my map to get us off at the right stop and it worked.Who knew I had a talent for cartography, hehe.We then used it again the other way to get the Bus 5 back to New Concepts School to meet back up with Echo and Alina.The other teachers there wanted to take some photos with us so we messed around in the classroom for a while taking lots of silly photos with each other, then we went shopping.

I got a new phone number and when I text mum, I found out that since I sent my email on Sunday she had been worried that it was code that I had actually been kidnapped, especially because my English number and Beijing number were both cut off when she tried them.Sorry mum!
