Settling in to life in Shanghai

Yu Gardens, ShanghaiI'm now into my seventh week in Shanghai and I'm well and truly settled in to my life here - I still have three weeks of my placement left, but I already find myself getting sad at the thoughts of leaving the city!

My First Three Weeks in Shanghai

The Bund, ShanghaiI'm now three weeks into my three-month trip to China and I'm loving it! I arrived in Shanghai at the end of May and will spend a total of nine weeks in the city, with one month teaching English in a kindergarten and one month working in a primary school summer camp.

Hong Kong, 11th - 18th August, 2009

Tuesday, 11th August, 2009.

After an exhausting day and a half of travelling, we finally arrived in Hong Kong. The first thing that hits you when you walk outside is the heat and humidity. It was 6 o'clock in the evening, but still very hot and though it was only about ten steps from the airport, we were all relieved to get onto the air conditioned bus!
