Birthday

Another year older last Thursday. It’s my second time to celebrate a birthday in China!

I didn’t really plan much for that night itself, cos I had classes all day on the Friday. I haven’t yet gone into class with a bad hangover, and it is certainly something I don’t want to happen. In an IT job, it’s fine. Just crawl into the office late and stare at the screen like a zombie until you feel better! Not as simple when you have to stand up in front of 30 people and teach!

I went for lunch with my previous Chinese teacher and her boyfriend. Half way through the lunch, a cake arrived. I think that was a really nice gesture. We went back to my flat and tucked into the lovely cake! It is nice to know kind people like my previous Chinese teacher. I think you will find a lot of very thoughtful, kind and generous people in China. I am glad to know some of them!

Tonight, I will hit the town to celebrate my birthday properly (i.e. by blessing it with copious amounts of alcohol). I hope we can fit in a visit to a KTV (karaoke) place at some point!!
