One Week Ago Today

It's hard to believe that I arrived in China just over one week ago... I feel like I've been here much longer. What does that mean?? It is 6:20 and I'm up, showered, dressed and ready for the day. I've got a hot water pot in my room and some nescafe, creamer and sugar, so I just made myself a cup of coffee. Outside my window, the sky is blue today!! I believe this is the first morning I've seen blue sky. Everyday last week it was very overcast and the air was filled with humidity. I was thinking that was the way it would be every day. But thankfully, I was wrong...
Lots of traffic on the streets below my window already.

Breakfast is available at 7:00, and I'm looking forward to my hard boiled egg and various pickled items. Everyday, soupy rice is available and Sally says it is very good with a sprinkle of peanuts, but I haven't tried that yet!
A van from the school will pick the morning shift up at 7:20. (The school is a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel, so it is easy to walk back.) I've got the morning shift for the next 5 days for which I am also glad. Not teaching until 2:00 in the afternoon makes for a longer day!

I hope everyone is doing well. I realize you can't comment on my blog, but please know that regular e-mails are appreciated! bachmanjoan@gmail.com!!!
