Okay, this entry is going to be short because I need to make sure that I am well rested tomorrow for my first day at work. Phil starts Monday. I just wanted to let the world know that I was alive and well and that I will start blogging more regularly now that I have internet . . . although, what we have now is hard to call internet. There is some weird program that the school requires to be on your computer in order for it to access the internet. And of course, it blocks everything, even when using Phil’s awesomeness to get around it. For instance, I can access Facebook, but I can’t comment or anything. It’s frustrating. If we just had a normal line, instead of school internet, I don’t think we would be having any problems.
Well, I suppose I should put up at least a few pictures before I hit the hay. Videos will have to wait until I can figure out a way to upload to Youtube.
Ha ha. Phil fell asleep on the plane from Beijing to Linyi.
This is the place we are living. We are on the 6th floor.
I am a little less than impressed with our living conditions. We might be moving soon, but I am not sure.
Yep. That is our toilet.
Interesting set up they have here. Our shower is on the left and our clothes washer is on the right.
I snapped this picture walking around Linyi trying to find things to do.
Hah! June made me revisit the picture of Phil sleeping. Lol. And the apartment is tiny, but looks like it’s decent. The toilet, goodness. Too bad you don’t have a handlebar to grab onto for those more strenous visits. I did like that about the trains. Anywho!!! Do you have a dryer or just the washer?

We only have a washer. I have yet to see a dryer anywhere. The good news is that things dry pretty fast here. I don’t know if that will be true is summer as well, but we’ll see.

I laughed when you wrote “We might be moving soon” under the third picture, are you talking about the foreign teachers supposed to moved on the New Campus ? haha
I worked in Linyi University this year, they still said “We will be moving next month” then “at the end of the semester”, nothing has changed but I had lot of fun working in Linyi haha

@Chris – I don’t think they will ever move anyone to the New Campus if they still haven’t at this point. However, that is probably a good thing. I stayed at the New Campus for a single night due to our building losing power and water for 2 days. Words cannot express how horrible it was. It was so bad that I cried. There were dead mosquitoes smashed into all of the walls. Oh, and thanks for stopping by!
