beijing: IKEA Rescued Me In China! - 09/30/10 09:16 PM
It’s National Day here in China today!  This is the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949.  This morning I was up early, still 11 hrs difference ahead from New Brunswick, Canada and got dressed to try to find the Starbucks’ the VP & ESL Teacher took me to before.  As I was approaching the Solano Mall, I realized I was still in a different country.  The western style Solano Mall gates to the mall area were closed.
I came back to my original route and passed it to find a bakery.  I found this wonderful … (15 comments)

beijing: Augh! My Electrical Plugs Don't Work Here? - 09/26/10 07:42 AM
Augh!  My electrical plugs don’t work here?  I’ve got a headache this morning.  I couldn’t dry my hair or straighten it either.  Worse yet, I couldn’t grind any of my dark roasted coffee beans and I’m meeting my new students today????
 
 
I woke up early, this sunny Friday, Sept 24th, since my body didn’t know what time it was and my clock radio didn’t work here either.  I was ready for the long productive day!  I met the ESOL/ESL teacher who had taken over for me, until my Chinese VISA permitted me to come to Beijing.   Gayle Trembley is … (6 comments)

beijing: Who Am I And What Time Is It? - 09/25/10 05:33 PM

Who am I and what time is it?   Air Canada fed us 3 times, had dinner 1st, Cup of Noodles 2nd with chopsticks and with breakfast as the last meal, even though we landed at 3:55 p.m.  Thursday, Beijing time or 4:55 a.m. in Saint John’s Atlantic time zone.   Two FULL planes later, It’s been 17 hours and I’m finally in Beijing, China!  I think this was a longer trip than Hawaii, even though we took the North Pole route from Toronto to Beijing.
I was greeted by the owner’s chauffer with my 3 huge suitcases, my Macbook  Pro case … (16 comments)

beijing: FUN FRIDAY: I Want to Meet Him! - 08/27/10 08:01 AM
 
 

 
Having a Math/Science background, I used to play with my daughter's toys, especially her mechanical toys.  I definitely want to meet this guy, while I'm in Beijing!  I wonder if I can transform this transformer into a giant Jet Flying Ferrari that flys through their week long traffic jams in no time?  It would definitely help me during my year in Beijing and I'll bring him back home to New Brunswick in July 2011...  LOL
What would you transform this guy or gal into?

beijing: I'm Moving to Beijing, CHINA!!! - 08/18/10 10:08 AM
 

With the news that China has bumped Japan as the 2nd economic powerhouse in the world, it was time for me to make a decision!  I hadn't looked falling back into my teacher role, after 6 years not teaching, except for some 1 or 2 “supply teaching” short-term jobs here in Canada.  The “supply teaching” jobs are like real estate, sometimes there’s a paycheck close by and other times nothing comes in for weeks or months on end. 
Currently, the real estate market is way down to 21% for the Saint John area and 30% for all of … (27 comments)
