i'm finally settling down in china after 4 days in this humid and unforgiving place. it's always grey skies and haze.... and the air is always thick with smog and you can't see the view of the beautiful scenes.
i did manage to get my pictures. unfortunately...... i was stupid enough to mess with with my digi cam... and deleted everything i took in the past four days.
its hard for even the toughest guy to admit, but living here in the hostel proved to be much of a challenge, and i realized how big a gap there is between us civilized singapore citizens (excluding some of my roomies) and the local chinese.
the conditions were quite horrific when we got here. the place was covered in spiders the size of 20 cent coins and the mosquitos were green. under my bed were old beer bottles, cigerette sticks, 1 year mooncake wrappers and 2 inches of dust. it doesn't sound bad. but on the first day, we couldn't clean the 5 room flat because we didn't have anything with us.
IS lessons are boring to the point where by even mrs bala sounds interesting. some of the chinese teachers can't speak english to save their lives, let alone communicate. and as for SDC core module... one of the hardest nonsense i've ever come across.
time here is the same as singapore, but the sun rises at 5.30am, and sets at 7.30pm. its a hard road ahead. i hope i make it through okay.
