Lately I can't just seem to cut it with my teaching job and my drop til you shop addiction. So I have decided to share a few of my day jobs with you. Commarant(?) Fisherwoman  Taxi Driver  Fisherwoman  Buggy Driver  Ditch Digger  Band Member  Rice Cake Baker  Guard to Baiju Gods  Tour Guide  Bullfighter  Undercover School janitor  Captain of The Cruiser  Pharmasits in Con's neighbourhood ( Con, I bet you didn't know that I was the new Laoban...free drugs for all)  Street Vender  Slave to the Tricycle  And last, but not least..............  As we can see my resume just keeps getting better and better, soon I will be able to drop the teaching altogether  |

Cormorant. And Pharmacist...although in China "pharmasits" might be a better term.  Simply amazing pictures, babe. Words can't describe it. |

More great pics, JJL. So, when do you start posting the Saloon's weekly fishing report? Then you can add sports feature writer to the list!  Oh, and how was the band audition? Are they a demanding lot of rockers?  |

Lol, George I have no idea what you are talking about...................    To answer your question with respect to my shopping, I have many collections...here is an example of my neurosis. Scarves  And more scarves  And........  This is only one of my shoe areas  Like I said I literally run around with my head cut off, but I love it. If you were to enter my apartment you wouldn't believe that I came here last year with two bags. Oh wonderful, wonderful China ;D |

Smart lady, that Babe. That's the way to do it.  JJL - Looks like you've had a great time since arriving in China. Where was your 'tour guide' picture taken? I want to visit that place. |

Bloody women!! Babe went to Thailand with one half-full suitcase tucked inside an empty one. Came back with both cases full! And.......  This is a problem?  I came to China with 3 suitcases. I shipped 2 large suitcases and 6 'train' blue bags to Dalian, took home 3 suitcases and emptied them and brought back 3 suitcases and a laptop.  I don't understand your concern George. Babe sounds totally normal to me!!  George - was there anything in the suitcases for you?? Or is that why you are peeved |

Ruth,
The picture was taken in Suzhou, however if you enjoy places like that Fenghuang, in West Hunan province, looks a lot like this area. The architecture there is amazing. And yes, I do have a lot of fun here in China. Some days can get to you, but overall I find this a pretty exciting place to be.

Yup, sho'nuff. That's Shan Tang Jie. Which will be gorgeous in May. Myself, I want to do a gig with that band! Yunnan? |

The band is playing in Sanjiang, Guangxi province and they are a Dong minority group.

I can top that luggage business! arrived with two suitcases (and charged for 20kg excess). Five years later, came home with two suitcases - and errrr.. half a container following by sea!  |

Uh-oh, sounds like me. I've accumulated so much crap here... Meanwhile, thanks, JJL. I really want to get to Guangxi while I'm here. And I think "The Dongs" would make a great band name. Does that band have a manager? |

Raoul,
If you ever want to go to Guangxi, ring me up. I know the perfect (free) tour guide for Guangxi. He knows many places, that foreigners don't know about, that are cheap and absolutely beautiful. We also know owners of a few resorts there, so amazing deals. I have travelled pretty extensively through Guangxi province, it is a beautiful province. It used to be my favourite province, but I became a little bored with it. We also know owners of a few resorts there.
Or if you don't want tag alongs, I can get you names and numbers, you will not pay over 40 yuan a night for rooms.
