PS It's already your birthday HERE in New Zealand, I tend to forget that SOME other countries are waaaay behind the times!

Hiya Mr Timvg
and <3~~~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~~<3 !!!
What is the age of adulthood in China?
Beth's loving to read about your China Kuitun adventures, Livi's always rushing about doing her last film assignment and working in bars to get $$ until 4am or so, so probably hasn't even seen it yet! What's your actual JOB like? Is it conversational English or what? Have you had a shave yet? DO tell all in the next blog entry!! **Lots of love on your Birthday, Tim :) **

Happy Birthday Tim

Happy Birthday Bro :D Hope you have a good day :)

Hi Tim
I am enjoying your photos and blog also the comments posted with the photos. You have written nothing about you teaching adventures,as that is what it isas much as the travel and sight seeing.Thinking of you especially this week as you have a birthday coming up.the 13th.I look at your photos as a man but I still see you as littleand Jude putting a photo of a ladies smiling face in your crib to keep you intertained while we got organised to go out to show me the sights.Take care.Aunt C

Hello! Dan Ta!
I'm not sure I'm doing this right but that's technology...
Just curious to see how your doing. You seem to be having a but of fun over there!
Other than language do you think that the people and the places are quite different to here?
I have no idea what to write and I miss the philosophy lessons. I'm surrounded by immature 16 yr olds who think they're mature because hey are in Collage now... grrr....
I miss having intelligent conversations *sigh*

But yes! Wishing you the best of luck! And I hope to hear from you,
Grace .D

Tim: lovely to hear how you're getting on. I've taught English to Chinese teenagers in Cambridge. They are very enthusiastic students although it is usually very hard for them to follow texts and learn the phonetics at the start. They will adore you when they see you really want to help them. Good luck, Sue Blight (Richard's Mum)

Sounds very cool Mr. Tim. Do you get the classic rock star treatment I hear Caucasians get in China? I saw a threads on Reddit full of expats moaning about how they can't have a picnic without being molested by teenage girls. How would you describe the Chinese people's manner? The stereotype is aptly described as "stereo"; crinkled old sorts grinning ear to ear or formal and colder than Angela Merkel's bed. Shame you left really, Becky Wadsworth has somehow gained a Danish exchange student to entertain this summer who is also a fan of dead languages and melodic heavy metal. I feel like a higher power is eerily engineering your replacement.

Love and Kisses, Sam.
