I'm back!

After a few months of absence with thanks to the GFC (Geelong Football Club…Global Financial Crisis…Great Firewall of China) I am once again able to post! Don’t ask me how but it is because I have worked out a way to avoid the website block and securely log-in !
I’ll make the latest update quick.
I finished up at my last job mid June and boy can I tell you that I am very pleased about that. Was a difficult few months being treated by the students as if you are a nobody. I start my new job at YK Pao School in about three to four weeks and although I know I am up against the “selfish” Chinese student, I have my own class from Monday to Friday where I can groom them to become pleasant, caring and sharing folk  Well, that’s the plan! More info in my next update.
In August I am off to Japan for about five days to catch up with Mr. James Packer, the reborn Yank from San Antonio. I’ll be staying in Tokyo with him and his cuz and will be spending some time in a Capsule Hotel which Japan is famous for. Should be awesome! This will be my third visit to Japan so I can’t wait!

I also bought an electric powered scooter! It's more like a modern looking vespa but has an elecric motor which powers it. I can get about 55km/h and can travel around 60kms on a full charge which is as simple as plugging the battery into any electric wall socket. It's a fantastic way to get around and see Shanghai, as well as do the shopping and odds and ends around the city.
