Tomorrow I am meeting Julian, another volunteer that is based in Zhengzhou as well. I think it will be really nice to have a conversation and not to have to speak 5-year-old English. Anyways more tomorrow after I meet with Julian!

... the answer to most of my questions, when and if he understood them, was ‘just so so.’ I have learnt that many Chinese people who don’t really know how to respond say ‘just so so’ it really makes me laugh! I have now started to say that to him as a joke and we all share a bit of a laugh!
