Irritations and Frustrations...revisited
Its the Chinese. I realized something today. Its not just Bond that is inconsiderate and deals with lies. The travel agency does as well. I went in today to purchase the ticket to go to Beijing for the October 1-7 holiday. I was told they were holding a spot for me on the tour and they quoted me the price. But guess what. LIARS! So, the tour was all filled up and I proceeded to berate Stephen, the tour guide from the night before. I told him what i was promised why is it not available. I asked why was it promised....No answer. Asshole. So after some fierce negotiation i got a ticket for a much nice tour but at a fraction of the cost. I am really not liking the chinese right now. My contact in Beijing doesnt seem to be having any of the troubles I am having, so she said it may be a Guangdong thing. Maybe. If Beijing is this bad...i may just have to leave China...cause I am getting fed up with their evil Shenanigans and lack of any form of martial art. So, I leave for Beijing on friday. Oh, and btw, its Oct 1-5th..not 1-7th. Dickheads.
My teaching today was ok for the most part. Both Grade 5s and the second Grade 6 were good. But the first Grade 6 right after lunch was horrible. No one would participate. They were rude and i wanted to beat them all up. I dunno, but i think I would get some sort of twisted enjoyment out of that.
Goodnite.

why is it oct 2, and i still haven't heard from you. beijing seems oddly mysterious knowing you're on my stopping ground, but i have yet to meet you.
tomorrow we're going to xiushui in the chaoyang district. chaoyang is where all good things are. the best stop is jiangguomen off the loop line (subway) for xiushui at least. we leave around noonish.
