A normal day in a normal week
Thursday and the week is almost over. It has been a pretty normal week here, waking before dawn (we are on Beijing time although in reality it is a couple of hours earlier) watching a couple of episodes of the X-Files, shower and breakfast and then off to catch the bus for school.
Both Chooch and myself have been having X-Files dreams all this week. Bought series 7-9 on DVD a few weeks ago and have been slowly getting through them. We have TV but only one channel so we seem to end up watching a great many DVD’s. I realise that they are all pirated but here that is all one can buy. A friend further east pointed this out a while ago – you cannot actually buy legal DVD’s here – and it is quite true. I mean who would pay the “real” prices for something when it is available so very cheaply without some form of legal intervention.
Got off the number 9 bus on the main road from the school and had a nice 10 minute stroll down to the front gates. Seriously the blocks here are huge. If I walk out of the school, down the road to an intersection, cross that and go round the corner it will take me about 20 minutes. Big broad wide open skies with fighter jets rolling overhead. Anyway arrived just before the senior 3 (age 18-9) students were starting their morning exercises. Taught a class, read my email, taught another class. Had some noodles for lunch. Then another 2 classes. So, 4 classes in all today - 200 students.
Then, now, deleting spam from postings on this site, Chooch refuses to blog as there is too much. Fair enough. No idea why people would want fake rolex watches and the like anyway.
And, today a little surfing. Back the Jean Snow’s Tokyo design blog. It has been a while but as usual some interesting things there: the superfuture site and go-tokyo (a new freely). Nice to see people doing nice things nicely! Don’t imagine though that Korla will see anything like that in the near future.
For your viewing pleasure a couple of random photos from last weekend. The first was taken on the road that runs parallel to us.
We took a ride out on the number 4 bus last weekend - a random bus to the end of the line. Good way to spend a quiet Sunday.
