G’Day!
You’ve gotta hand it to the han Chinese. Let me just simply set the scene and the situation.
Today, after teaching the obnoxious turds for 4 weeks, I think ….right …… get the teacher’s notes for next week and I’m off……………… cant wait to get home and see my little boy, his mum and crack a coldie or ten. poo, wasn’t it hot today………….. anyway, (m'kay me rona, why am I doin’ this?)
I get to the bus – now that took about 1200 steps (heard about Australia’s 10,000 steps program? – walk about 7.9 km each day to keep fit …ie. ….10,000 steps …… m’kay – they’ve gotta be kiddin’)
…… anyway that’s another story
……. I get to this m'kayin’ bus and …it’s full ……..it’s 38deg. Outside …. No breeze !!!! …. there’s no air con …. Probably 58 deg in the bus!! and the m'kaying bus is chockers … one seat left up the back …..I grab it!!!
I get my seat and this m’kayinly nice fella wants to practice his m’kayinly awful English. I’ve got it all together – I mean ….I’m really super cool and reallllllly nice to this fella …and we go to Baoshan campus (25 minutes away) and he gets off ….
YES!!! YES!!! …no more b.loody practice session
BUT ….no ….no …no….. here comes Chris Wang …………NO !
( I nearly start crying!)
He proceeds to use me as a bloody English sounding board for the next 15 minutes before he abruptly says to me, “I’M GOING TO HAVE A NAP NOW!”
Just prior to this I’ve told him what I think of his comment about him getting the same pay rate to teach English to undergraduates, …. ( the individual nervously chuckles then gets that familiar stupid superior ‘we are the greatest syndrome’ look on his face) …..and
He tells me he’s earning 120,000 Y/ annum from his base employer – Shanghai Uni. and SILC is paying him an additional 30,000/annum for his glorious English teaching.
…………………….…………“ you know …I should be getting the same rate as you ….teaching English …. I’ve got my associate professor position and my masters in Business Studies (chuckles nervously) ….. and ……but that’s where I stop this very intelligent and knowledgeable m'kaywit.
I had a high opinion of him until today – How on earth he thinks he even comes close to me as a teacher of English is possibly ENTIRELY DUE TO THE PROPAGANDA AND INDOCTRINATION OF HIS GOVERNMENT WHO TRULY BELIEVE IN THE SUPER RACE!! ……..zherli …zhongguo!
……………. So anyway ……………. sought of suggested to him that his English language and teaching ability would never ever come close to mine and I think he might have felt a little deflated and dejected.
