sure that all the information’s in our data base is changed in your
name as the beneficiary of the fund.

I now decided to make this proposal to you for our own benefit so that
the funds will be release to you as the next of kin or relation to the
deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for
it and I don't want this fund to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed

On Friday July 18th my manager (Scott) and our materials scientist (Ryan) arrived into Qing Xi around 4 PM. This was Ryan's first trip to China and we were very anxious to share our China experiences with someone who has never seen this strange land. They came in two days early so they could enjoy some of the different parts of the culture. As soon as they arrived I met them at their hotel, since they didn't want to stay at the fancy Hotel ...

I will be updating this entry on a regular basis with stories and pictures that don't necessarily warrant a whole new entry. * For instance, the fact that there is a shortage of diesel fuel over here, and it is very common to see a couple hundred yards of truck backed up at the gas station, because the station is out of gas. * It had been a while since we got a massage, so we went to get ...

Foreword...I really am doing okay. I'm not posting this entry to gain any sympathy. I'm really handling this culture well. I just wanted to post this so people can see what a different world this is. China is not easy for the less traveled. Okay! Some things just really get to me. Maybe it's my headache, or maybe it's my 48 bug bites. (I got four more today.) But I'm physically irritated and in a ***** mood. This is riding in a taxi ...

I finally got back to the apartment after a really long, happy day today! First things first, I peeled off my clothes from my dewy hot skin. I'm going to get used to walking around in underwear here. It is so hot and humid. It's incredibly uncomfortable; I don't know how people live in it fully clothed! Today we were going to help promote the summer program for the Ivy English Club by handing out balloons, flyers and playing English games with children. This ...

Culture Shock in a Wal-Mart My new apartment is on the 28th floor above a Chinese Wal-Mart. When you're in a foreign country where no one can even say "Hi" in your language, the slightly familiar may be the only way I could get settled in for now. I thought culture shock was silly. I'm a very open minded person, being submersed in another culture shouldn't really bother me. I can get used to people being different, right? It's cool ...

... use his 'net connection FREE (well, I did eat and drink - first meal I've had today). Today has been much better, in principal because I slept to 11:30 and managed to shave in the compact bath-room. I felt extremely light-headed due to over-sleeping, forgetting to turn on the air-conditioning and due to lack of food. I'm astounded that it is next to impossible to find anywhere in Kowloon that provides for vegetarians - not even a bakery or a supermarket to buy ...

... even after 12 years there) and responded much more to a little teaching, some games and singing, and then a little learning through colouring-in or worksheets. In the morning I had been crying in the toilets, hoping no one would hear me, in the afternoon I could have been walking on air - this job really hits you emotionally, one way or the other (or maybe that's the way it is with serious jobs in general?).

In one of my new classes I was doing a get to know each other exercise which involved students writing answers to different questions about themselves and then giving only the answer to the other students who had to guess what the question was. It's quite good fun, very simple and productively time-consuming! People who've taught EFL will know what I ...
