In seventeen days I will leave for China. With so little time left I have been getting a little lenient on the money I have. Most of the year I spent it keeping it saved up. As the yuan has been losing value recently a lot of this money would be better spent in China than bringing it home. I plan to purchase a tablet, and maybe some other nice ( Read more... )

I go to church here on China on a regular enough basis that people know who I am at church. Despite the language barrier, I try my best. There are maybe two other foreigners whom I am friends with who also attend mass regularly. The other foreigners come and go. Sometimes some Indians and these two Italians pop up, but they also seem pretty ( Read more... )

I went to Hong Kong again during a national holiday in China. I saw Hong Kong girl. I kissed Hong Kong girl, as well as some other stuff with Hong Kong girl. I do not know what I am doing with that relationship. I like her so much, but I am leaving China in January. My friend in Hong Kong keeps offering me a teaching job in Hong Kong, but no way in ( Read more... )

My Russian ex-girlfriend finally arrived in Hangzhou yesterday. She had told me she would be here on September 5th. Unsurprisingly that did not happy, but legit she is finally in China now. I had told her she had up until July 31st to get here. She got here on September 23rd ( Read more... )

Out of boredom I downloaded the Chinese version of Tinder. Unlike Tinder where even fat girls think they are a 10, and are too good for even Justin Bieber lookalikes, the Chinese women are a bit more realistic in this regard. I have gotten a lot of matches on it, but the language barrier has often been too much. I have started asking if they can ( Read more... )

I received a message from the Russian girl announcing she would be in Hangzhou, a nearby city to me, on Saturday. This turned a relatively quiet day into one full of pondering over what the hell? I had not spoken to her in a few months as I have mentioned previously here on Livejournal ( Read more... )

The summer schedule is finally ending. I am having a lot more free time yet again, and not knowing what to do with it. I have so much free time I even started pondering writing fiction for amusement again. That is something I rarely do since on my time off I would much rather play the guitar, or excercise ( Read more... )

Last week a Chinese woman I know helped me to buy some things I needed. She saved me a lot of time by helping so in appreciation I offered to take her out for ice cream. It is something I always do whenever someone helps me as stuff like this can go a long way ( Read more... )

Maryland girl cut off all ties with me. We had not seen each other the past week because our work has kept us busy. I guess not having me around gave her enough courage to text me saying how she did not want to see it anymore. As usual, she wrote how she did not want to worry about someone (me) kissing her when she did not want it. Never mind the ( Read more... )
