Right, having spent a good two hours in the dark, cold office on the fourth flour of the building which lights are noise activated, I have finally managed to sort a workable blog.
It’s easy to post, easy to read, and it’s mine. All mine. All I need now is a digital camera to get some pictures online, because here in Shiyan there are many things to show.
Today a colleague took me to a place called Ox Head Mountain Park, which is not as long a drive as I thought it’d be. It’s a very tranquil, very fresh and relatively clean mountain forest where it was oh so quiet. We walked through what seemed like a factory precinct to get to the gate, and it makes you appreciate the silence within the park so much more.
I saw a very young looking old woman, but she was bent double with age and problems of her back. She looked like a teenager with gray hair.
Anyway, tomorrow the journey to Wuhan will commence. I will try and update the blog tomorrow, tell a bit about my colleagues and the school where I work. Now… I need to go find a way to warm up my cold, near-dead body.
