Kate's Chronicles
The last few days have been one of many students in tears saying goodbye to me…even the teachers have been commenting on the impact I had on their students and how much the students will miss me – kind of sweet isn't it???!! Was taken out for a farewell dinner and the ubiquitous KTV for my last evening… and yes I had to sing ABBA again!! Then had to have photos taken this morning in front of the school for some purpose…who knows where my photo may turn up!! Two of my FAO’s saw me off at the train station (needed one of them to buy my ticket at any rate!) and so I’m now officially on holidays!!!
What an interesting train trip……..railway staff coming down the aisles selling all manner of things – socks, towels, toothbrushes, bouncy balls, massage thing – in addition to the usual food!! Nanning is very cold, about 5 degrees so I guess it will help me prepare for the sub-zero temps up North. It is known as the "green city" but for the life of me I can’t work out why…all I could see was smog.
I managed to find my hotel by myself- rather proud seeing everything is written in Chinese! Mind you I’m a little concerned about the “type” of hotel it might be. I am in a Business Deluxe room which is nice enough with the usual amenities and then I saw a basket of goodies…..a selection of condoms and an antibacterial towel all for “ungift sale” of 10 ¥ each….guess it caters to the stereotypical businessmen!!!
Bye for now. xx
