... part dirt and part something quite inexplicable but most
likely linked to the toilets. The understand the layout of the
streets, think of a fish skeleton. You have a backbone (in this case,

We then headed towards Wangfungjing Street to the Quanjude Duck Restaurant. The duck was amazing, but very different from back home. the chef brought it out to your table and sliced it perfectly in front of you (not shredded).

... good and bad thing about Jinshanling and Simatai is that a lots is original but some has been reconstructed so don't believe all the advertosements saying this part is still totally original. Having said that there is a lot crumbling away and it is an awesome experience and the views are spectacular. Although at the time I didn't appreciate it fully as I was wheezing too much!

... the fact that the person looking for the tutor was not actually the girl's father, but a person finding a tutor for their boss's daughter. But the agency asked me to meet with the girl this morning to see if it was a good fit, so I did... despite being a little nervous (don't worry, I told a friend to make sure I text messaged him by mid afternoon to let him know it went okay!).
