Living on a Narrowboat
Warm up for the Halloween party.
All the little kiddies are dressed up for the dress rehersal. Teachers Juicy wants me to get dressed as a pumpkin!
This is not going to be anything I intend to make any money out of. Maybe I should dress as a sweet.
Here’s some pic’s.
The kids are all preparing for their little dance routine.
Most of them forget their stuff all the while, but they seem to be having fun.
Party itself is due at the end of the month.
Had a mini sports day today for the kids.
Spent the morning waving my arms around and taking photographs.
Much like the kids.
Taicang 3 and 3 nursery.
Housemate from the US has parted company.
He had problems with meeting his responsibilities , and at the weekend had a bottle of beer. Or two , some Bacardi , and also some vodka.
I disappeared for the weekend , went to Nanjing.
When I came back, I heard the sound of tins being opened early in the morning.
About 6am.
This isn’t the first time this has happened.
Last weekend he drank all my brandy and the police came round because he was outside smashing things up.
He had a habit of sleeping in odd places ‘close to nature’.
People would wake me to come to the aid of Edward, outside, in a pool of his own wee (or whatever ). Sometimes he was conscious , sometimes not.
China has it’s fair share of alcoholic teachers.
The Russian I used to work with was drunk 24/7.
One of the other teachers commented “I never realized he was drunk till I saw him sober .”
Another stocked up on Bijiou to get him through his day at Kindle.
On Monday it all came to a head when Ed turned up for work on the sauce.
Police were called. Poor Eddie had to spend the best part of the day in the cells explaining and clearing things up with the Chinese authorities 。
Employers , linestart have threatened to blackball him.
Effectively making it impossible for him to get work in China.
There’s a letter.
Foxconn peeps.
Michelle, Ashley, Frank, Vito and Louis.
So…..
Had to get pupils involved in an outdoor lesson.
Took them to see Pacific Rim at the cinema.
It’s an English speaking film and I thought we could get some discussion out of it…
Better than walking around Tinglin park with my finger up my arse.
Here’s a picture of the cycle ride down there (i thought they were joking when they said go by bike , they weren’t , they were serious).
We got there and had a bit of a drama.
Got some popcorn and coke and things settled down….
One of the girls had a discount card and we paid around 60 yuan for 8 people.
The film is about robots vs aliens.
It’s nice cgi and effects made it a bit of a boys film.
Most of the action was centered around the fight to save earth from monster controlled aliens.
These alien were secretly being controlled by robots from earth who were controlled, secretly, by humans.
With secret control, monsters and aliens.. I enjoyed it.
The acting was terrible.
Couldn’t eat our two tubs of popcorn.
Was fun though.
The Chinese seemed to enjoy it. I’ll see what discussion we can get out of it next lesson.
