I believe you have a parcel for me?

The end of last week was unbelievably hot and humid. I finally gave in and begged them to put the air con on in the office. The best thing is... it's yet to get 10 degrees hotter. Oh the joys. Luckily it has cooled down and shock, horror, was under 20 degrees yesterday! =0
We learnt mandarin poetry. I can recite 2 lines to you and they're not adjacent they are however from the same poem! Once again we had a student, just the one this time, helping in our teaching. I think he quite enjoys it. They love the fact that we are trying to learn chinese. I emphasise trying. It resulted in more stickers to say the least.
I spent Saturday morning teaching the story 'Goldilocks and the 3 Bears'. Goldilocks doesn't have a name, to the children she is just 'girl'. "who ate the porridge?" "GIRL!" well, it's not wrong!
I spoke to Dad this week who gave me the details of the place from where my parcel was to be collected. A bar. An Irish bar. An Irish bar 1.5 hours away! So on Saturday afternoon, Izzie and I set off for Shenzhen (after I mentioned an Irish bar there was no keeping her away) We succeeded on the second attempt as we got to Guangzhou and turned around to come back and collect our passports. We should have known that Yangshuo and our flawless travels was a one off! We arrived at the train station and had a little trouble working out where to go. I got rather irritated with Izzie. It happens, after all we don't spend any time apart and spending everyday with the same person can be frustrating sometimes, but it's all part of the experience of living with somebody that isn't your family! I'd better get used to it!
Back to my weekend, we finally made it to our hotel and checked in. Thanks to Dad pre-booking i,t we got a discount and I was Mr. Seona for the night. We headed straight over to the Irish bar, naturally just opposite the hotel, and wandered in wondering who to ask about a lone holdall waiting to be picked up. After a little loitering we decided to eat there and sat down at a table. We hadn't realised someone was already sat there but we got chatting. He was drinking by himself so maybe he was glad of the company. Albeit expensive, we had a lovely meal and we're thoroughly enjoying ourselves. In fact, we stayed put until around 3AM. By that point a band had been playing, much to our entertainment.I'd spoken to Dad around 8pm who told me to introduce myself to the gang, which I did, in my own particluar way. I looked around to see if anyone looked like a regular,went over and asked "Do you know my dad?" As it turned out he did and also introduced Izzie to some Irish people she had been wanting to meet so dearly. We wasted yesterday really, we wandered around Shekou but did nothing much before going home. We bumped into one of the teachers on the bus too.
We did some shopping and that sums it up. I did have a lovely chat with my sister though. She was procrastinating from exam revision, I very much enjoyed talking to her as I munched my way through the packet of starburst supplied by my mum. Next I'll make a start on the 18 sachets of hot chocolate she put in there. Such a shame my dad forgot to put my travel guide in, the silly billy.
