Slow Train to China: My Dear Mushroom
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-dear-mushroom.html
Thursday, 14 May 2009. Now, I have a good few really bright students, I have plenty of average Joes (although the only kid I have who is actually called Joe is a little ten-year old shithead who likes shouting out 'F-U-C-K' what it mean? Jenny: What is it (holds up flashcard at Lily)? Lily: It's a rabbit? Jenny: Are you a rabbit? Lily: No, I'm a girl. Jenny: What is it (holds up flashcard at Bobby)? Jenny: Are you a monkey (points at Bobby)? Bobby: It's a monkey. Annie: Ni shi houzi ma? Are you a monkey?

Slow Train to China: April 2009
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2009. So, today I was chatting with the Chinese teachers at are school (who are all lovely), and the conversation turned to what our Chinese zodiac signs were. Now, with the exception of our manager, who has recently hit the big 30, every single employee at our school is between the ages of 21 and 26, and so we were trying to group ourselves into our relatively limited Chinese star sign groups. Monday, 27 April 2009. Wednesday, 8 April 2009. Mangled English - The Album. These were spott...

Slow Train to China: Mangled English - The Album
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009/04/mangled-english-album.html
Wednesday, 8 April 2009. Mangled English - The Album. It is thus with great pleasure that I invite you to peruse Mangled English: the Album. Yes, there is an album. On Picasa. That you can look at. The album will grow in time and new photos will appear on the interweb, but here is a teaser of the delights that lie in store if you click here:. These were spotted in our hotel in Chengdu a few weeks ago, and left us wondering just what do they do that is so uncomplimentary? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Slow Train to China: February 2009
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 February 2009. Whilst it's very tempting to dive straight into writing about Chongqing, I shall resist the temptation to create blog chaos and instead ask you to pretend whilst reading the subsequent posts that the last week is a figment of our collective imagination. As such, it is now in fact Saturday, February 21st and I have just arrived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Friday, 20 February 2009. Even excluding the terrors of the gulags, the miles and miles of frozen nothingness extending as far...

Slow Train to China: Xi'an
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009/05/xian.html
Thursday, 7 May 2009. Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for your kind support regarding my accelerated ageing process. It makes me feel so much better as I'm examining my face for traces of incipient crow's feet to know that I have such supportive friends and family. And yes mother, I know well that on the day that I actually do turn thirty you shall relish the opportunity to begin taking revenge for years of old crone jokes. Oh yes, I should note that Xi'an was actually. And Take a Break. It came i...

Monday, 27 April 2009. I am hoping against hope that eventually she will be able to turn herself on, even if it is temporary, because ALL MY FUCKING STUFF IS ON THERE! 28 April 2009 at 17:43. As I read you've got problem with your computer.it's not a surprise to me hihihih. Hope you're fine.

Slow Train to China: Hammer Man
http://theslowtraintochina.blogspot.com/2009/05/hammer-man.html
Thursday, 7 May 2009. Not only am I sad that I can't have pictures on the blog for the next few weeks, but am also wishing I had a way to add sound. That way I could better communicate THE ANNOYINGNESS OF A NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR WHO HAS SUDDENLY STARTED HAMMERING LOUDLY ON THE WALL ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY. I have no idea what he is doing - unless he is a blind man who is also in possession of the world's worst set of Ikea instructions, no piece of furniture assembly requires three whole. And all that endless...
