"So talking to Teacher Woodchild can be a bit odd when I'm reminded that, while she's my senior and acts it, she also has these funny quirks and naïveties which don't match her level of education."

Welcome to modern China :)

You said it again. You added a smiley, though. I think you're doing it on purpose.

About 7 years ago I spent two weeks living on 1RMB a day. It's only two weeks because I finally admitted I can't keep it up any more and rang home for money...

It's d*mn hard to eat at 1RMB a day while having P.E. lesson. X_X

Wow (is impressed). It's "something to tell the grandchildren", anyway!

The thing with Teacher X: what's your current view? slimcode November 16 2006, 15:34:49 UTC
Hard to tell from here, but I'm starting to think he made a cardinal blunder by opening up to the class in a way that he was never gonna be able to follow through on ( ... )

It doesn't turn into mere furniture-moving for its own sake, because we're not that desperate about the seating plan.

Arr, him is tense.

Hm. I think it's a wise and good strategy, this - to have your Godfather go along with you for back-up.. just in case it's all a cunning sinister triad-gang plot to kidnap you and sell you into white slave labour. Hm: wonder how much you'd be worth on the black market, er, sorry, I mean white market.

The stranger herself came up with a better plan - why don't I just top up HER phone with 30RMB?

So now I need a new excuse to hang out with Lao Da.
