At least not figuratively.
I won't begin teaching until the week after next, as I've arrived just in time to enjoy the National Holiday. Turns out I have the next week off to celebrate the 1949 founding of the People's Republic of China following a rout of the Nationalists, who have since fled to Taiwan. That being said, I'm trying to figure out how to get out of town.
Not that this city isn't new enough or strange enough. I just don't know how many opportunities I'm really going to get to run around China like an idiot tourist, and I want to make sure I get it done to my satisfaction.
So maybe Shanghai, to meet up with one of the two people I sort of know here.
More on that later.
For now... here's a look at the school (where I have yet to work) and some students (who I have yet to teach).
And of course, here is my beautiful... alley? Street?
Well then. It's 1:30 in the afternoon, on a Sunday. I was able to check all of Saturday's football scores without trouble. My internet works, I am settled, and all is well. I have everything I need in my Indiana Jones-ish man purse, including certain gear for those... special contingencies. And I'm wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
