I haven't written anything for ages because I haven't had the Internet and I have been stressed. I am moving house - the reason I have both been stressed and haven't had the Internet.
BAT an eyelid? In the last couple of days I started what should be a regular English teaching slot - two hours a week for 400 RMB (£33). Someone in our group of friends was offered the same job back in 2006. At the time the boy's father was an executive of British American Tobacco - controversy raged over whether it was ethical to get involved with someone who was responsible for selling as many cigarettes as possible to the Chinese. He deals with Hoovers now, I guess that sucks, only in a different way.
Over-attentive service staff. A few weeks ago, after seeing me discretely trying to pick my teeth in a bar, a waitress indiscretely passed me some toothpicks. This turned out to be no isolated incident: Last night a bar lady saw me idly picking a spot and brought over some tissues to clean up whatever mess might result from my public preening.
Rage against the maChinois. While the tissue incident was making me feel like a disgusting freak, the young Chinese moshers in a heavy metal concert – I was there to keep a friend company - were making me feel old. It was all a bit too Korny for me so I kept my mind on wordplay: Puns and Roses?
Whotong? I suppose the main thing on my mind has been sorting my house. However, since I am uncertain about my future there I will say no more about it - I have paid rent without signing anything. Speaking about it as my own place might just BeiJinx the whole thing.
As soon as I am settled down with a house with an Internet connection I will start writing more - stay tuned.
