Bye-Bye to the Sailor Boys

This week sees the last of my navigation classes. Ah, I’ll miss the guys, Their English may not be the May West (one guy today in his exam didn’t know the words “hobbies”, “free time”, “spare time” or even the word “play”) but they’re a fun bunch of lads. And friendlier than most of my second years. Here's a pic of Naviaion Class 2 (first years):

What a handsome bunch of lads. Sunlight in the classroom was too strong in places, so the pic didn't come out great.

Now I gotta get stuck into planning my trip in January and February, trying to juggle Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) and visiting some people! Ah, if China wasn’t so big or if I was rich, it would be no problem! However, I should make the most of my time here, even if it does mean spending some of my savings from home.
