你好， So we are back in Yihuang! After almost 15 hours of travelling on hard seats, our backs were really sore and we'd had barely 3 and a half hours sleep between us. We were so relieved to just be able to crash for a couple of hours in the apartment. I sat and planned my lessons for the 2 days that I will be teaching this week. I have Wed to Fri off again this week due to the Senior 1 monthly exams, and Lucie has Thu and Friday off. So we are going to Nan...

你好， So today was our last day in Shanghai. We were checked out by 12 and eating brunch down in the hostel restaurant. We were joined by the 3 Brazilians (Gilles, Philipe and Daniel) and a Dutch guy called Rens.

Then in the afternoon we caught the subway to the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. This place was absolutely huge! There were 4 floors of exhibits, and we didn't get round them all. So we'll be going back next time....

你好， After a rather restless night's sleep - there were quite a few stops during the night, and the train seemed unable to pick up any speed without violenty jumping forward a few times, which always woke us up (plus the person sleeping in the bunk above me was a snorer!) - we both woke rather early and so wasted the remainder of the journey by chatting, reading our kindles or watching tv episodes on our laptops till they died. And then we arrived in Shang...
