The rainy season is upon us. I don't mind the rain so much except that is is just too cold to do anything.
Yesterday I managed to finish eatting and leave without paying the bill. Today I felt bad and went back to pay. Different people were working there today so I had to explain and give them the money. That's not just strange but embarrassing too.

I came across a very good website where you can take your practice Japanese language exam online. It is called the Sushi test and administered by the Japan Foundation. The Japan Foundation also provides free assistance and ready made lesson plan ideas and user forum to exchange ideas with other teachers around the world via their website. Government funded and uses the standard Japanese proficency test. The Sushi Test is in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, English, Bahasa Indonesian, and Portuguese.

It appears that my last post was March 13 or something. Well I guess that shows that I have too many things to do and not much time for blogging. Lets see a little bit about what I am doing at the moment to prove to the world that I am actually doing something. I teach Japanese language and culture at Yulin Normal University in Yulin, Guangxi if you don't know where that is I suggest downloading Google Earth because you can see my appartment very clearly and if you and patient enough or lucky enough you may be able to see me waiving from the street below. I teach second year communication and composition, first year communication and listening as well as a cultural corner for anyone who wants to attend. A total of 10 hours a week 4 days a week. Yes I have a 3 day weekend. Well ok I guess I don't have much excuse to not blog on Friday but I rather get out of the house and photograph than stay indoors.

The weather report for Yulin calls for light rain with a low of 19 and high of 26. Quite a difference from last weeks temperatures of 9 degrees but more rain just means more added humidity in the air. I was thinking perhaps if there was no rain we will not get the hot humid summers this place is used to. Not that I like them it just Yulin will not be the same without the sauna atmosphere. One reason for all the greenery is the result of all the rainfall as well. So I suppose we cannot complain at that much about the humid climate.
