Update:

"China is awesome. After my third week here, I am really settling down.

The first week here was great fun, as a high-school class from a Danish highschool was here on a study-trip. We went with them and saw the Great Wall, The Forbidden City and the .... Himmelske Freds Plads! And also, a lot of different temples and stuff like that. Great fun.

After they left, we began working. And by 'we' I mean, me and my colleagu Simon, another Danish student who is gonna be here for 4 months. He is a great guy, and we really get along great. We spend every evening in his dorm-room wathing The Simpsons and The Office, and various Movies. And speaking of movies; you can buy about 20 movies for the same price as half a movie back home. Talk about cheap and awesome!!!

As for the teaching, it is great fun. We have 7 different classes each week, and we work just about 10 hours a week. Most, if not all, of the Chinese student really suck at Englsih, so it is a tad difficult to teach them, but we are getting used to it, and by the end of next week, we will surely have gotten into the spirit of things. And by that I mean, we will have gotten used to talking really slowly and use words that are simple and easily understandable.

In the weekends, we go to bars and clubs. Mostly we go to an Internatiomal cafe called Ali Baba's Bar, which is great. We have met some cool people, and next weekend we are going to a club somewhere, to hear one of out new friends, Mark, do some DJ'ing.

and that is it for now. Everything is nice and slow and eveyone is great and the Chinesians are all really small and blackhaired.

Will make Soeren update again some other day. Until then, take care!

oh, and for pictures.... I will get to that. This computer really blows, so I am going to wait until we get a fixed net-connection in our own rooms. That way, I can use Simon's laptop to deal with pics.

love

He still can't read this site but feel free to leave comments, I'm sure he'll appreciate it once he returns.

Greetings from.... Denmark

So we all know Jones hasn't blogged for a while. I spoke to him this morning and he's in China rocking out (with his cock out, presumably). Due to Chinas f'ed up laws regarding freedom of speech/information he can't visit this site to update you all.
I guess that means I will do the blogging for a while and Jones will send me stuff so I can put it here, at least until he finds a suitable proxy server that works over there :) or something else.

Short facts:
-He IS in fact alive even though he hasn't update his blog in a while
-He is enjoying the low prices on everything over there (from food to movies)
-He actually managed to find the school he's working at now, AND
-He started teaching as of today.

I'm sure Jones will send me pictures, etcetera, when he has internet installed in his own room, when I talked to him he was using his boss' computer.

That's it, enjoy spring.
