re: You wouldn't think things got boring after spring fest, would you?
Tim Van Gardingen Hey Karen, thanks for accidentally dropping by my blog! You'll probably never see this reply as i'm pretty sure this awful website doesn't end replies, but never mind. Believe it or not. more stalkers have in fact been gained during the travels... Have fun in Xinjiang, it's a great place! Tim.

Karen Watson Hello! I stumbled across this blog whilst planning a trip to Xinjiang, specifically to Turpan. I realised you were one of the British lot I met at the hostel in Chengdu last month, how bizarre! Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your trip and steered clear of unwanted stalkers... Best wishes for going off to uni next year. Karen (from Suzhou)

Tim Van Gardingen By Chinese standards it's nearby Russia. It's probably only 5 hours away or so and considering it takes 20 hours just to leave my province back in my hometown, 5 hours feels very close. Also because Haerbin was once part of Russia, it very much feels like a border region.
re: Is it China? Or is Russia??
Wayne Carlson Just looked at the photos -- wow! That was some experience.! I did not understand being on Russian border. Map shows it quite a way from the Russian border?
re: Is it China? Or is Russia??
Tim Van Gardingen Hey Kathryn, Glad you enjoyed reading my blogs =). I'm guessing your getting excited now about heading to China? I know I was about now. If you want to know anything, just send me a message! And yeah, I usually copy and paste it into a word doc, just sometimes it's easy to forget. Good luck with any fundraising you have left to do!
re: About the wonders of teaching in China
Kathryn Your work sounds amazing. Your stories have given me so much to think about (I am going to China with PT in August 2014). I will say that I have also had problems with offexploring deleting my stuff. A way around this I have found is to type it in a word document, then copy and paste. Then if it does delete it, I don't need to re-type it :) Hope you are still having a great time

Wayne Carlson Happy Christmas Tim! May you have a meaningful Christmas this year.

Tim Van Gardingen I actually did already with many of my classes this week.
re: Day 21 - Thursday. The day with the only quiet class!
Jude Ongeri Tell your student your Mum thought that too and she was wrong.

Tim Van Gardingen It's hard work blogging every day - you start running out of content and you need to make time for writing. I can't see me writing every day after this month has finished!
re: Day 20- 我有好发音马?
Corinna Cornelius Thanks TIM
