And I have already explained that I am not interested in the old-fashioned model to my new teacher. She's a young, friendly woman and we have already chatted a lot... so I really believe this time it's going to be different!!<br /><br />I'm flying back on August 28... weehooooo! Two days later I am off to Yunnan. Can't wait!Jonna Wibeliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954672453008704738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-88700466945141056062009-08-13T17:58:40.234+08:002009-08-13T17:58:40.234+08:00Jonna, I'm looking forward to hearing about ho...<b>Jonna</b>, I'm looking forward to hearing about how that goes for you. I wonder if it will genuinely be a better experience than the last school? I hope so! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself there. Before you know it you'll be sweating here in Asia again! ^_^ By the way, when is it you're coming back?Brad Farlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631055865439844292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-55748426316039819902009-08-13T13:18:53.741+08:002009-08-13T13:18:53.741+08:00Jim- ah, you're in Perth?!?!

I'd give u my Chinese skills in exchange of being able to live in Perth... hehe<br /><br />Tales -Yeah I have to say that 3 years in humid Shanghai/suzhou has made me appreciate the somewhat cool Scandinavian summers... :) <br /><br />I am still to start the new uni.

Glad to hearthat you're retaining a lot. It would be a pain for youto get back to China and start at that new school after forgetting so much. Or had you already started there before you left? All I remember is your amusing story about withdrawing from your old school.Brad Farlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631055865439844292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-43172260163844688942009-08-12T17:45:47.136+08:002009-08-12T17:45:47.136+08:00Well done with the Mandarin, I wish I was as good ...Well done with the Mandarin, I wish I was as good and I have a Chinese wife .....<br /><br />It is 19 degrees here in Perth and raining but it is the middle of winter!<br /><br />I'm not sure that I could handle Finnish weather.Jimnoreply@blogger.com
