Teacher in EF - the dress to impress officialdom look - not for small stars classroom, but as culottes could make the grade if needed. Thanks to Image Wear for the personal service (Adelaide). It's not what you know but WHO!Don't worry, the target language for what to pack is controlled to the basics so the mention of importance of duty free allowances and how to look like hand luggage is as light as a feather is not included. I can't wait for the lesson on day 3 which looks at emergency procedures getting my chance to impersonate the glam cabin crew I usually pay superficial attention to!
Crash position - if you can't reach the seat in front of you [you are sitting in first class you Ba@#$std!!] blah blah for us in economy, we have read the InFlight Magazine before takeoff as we are NOT quaffing champagne before takeoff.
Today I had my interview for residence permit at the Nanshan PSB. He asked me about previous trips to China and about my association with Sturt Softball Club (i explained softball as like baseball) and hockey. Amazed that i play hockey which he recognised as being a tough sport, when i said i was a goalkeeper he picked up his approved stamp and stamped vigorously on the required forms. (seemingly impressed) Next step is the Shenzhen PSB where Hannah and I have to front for inspection later in the week .

Yesterday I taught Natalia and Ryan again from summer, it was a happy reunion for all. Several others also remember me which is touching as none of them ran away. Tomorrow is the test, I have a class of 3-4 year olds who were reluctant with even a local teacher - imagine the strange foreigner they face tomorrow....
More firecrackers outside, fireworks last night, imagine the New Years Eve - stay tuned.
TNT [till next time]
