Last entry I said I missed all the piped Christmas music that everyone is subjected to back at home. Seems I was listening through rose-tinted headphones.
Guangzhou seems to have only one Christmas CD. It is played everywhere. I am assaulted by 'Frosty the Snowman' and 'All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth' at every turn. The most offensive Christmas song of all though is a little Mexican-inspired number, which goes along the lines of:
'Mama Sita,
Donde esta Santa Claus?
Oh where is Santa Claus?
It's Christmas Day...
Oh Dasher, oh Vixen, oh Pedro, oh Blitzen,
Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole!'
Kill me now. And Merry Christmas to you all!

Hey Dave,
Sounds like you're enjoying yourself - some of this stuff sounds awesome. How's the mandarin coming on? I love the MacDonald's sign - 'wo jiu xihuan', 'I'm loving it..' :D
The whole lack of student motivation thing is scaring me - I'm currently looking to get a job in China ths summer. I don't know how they'll take my t-totalness too.. :S
Missing the CELTA days? Haha. I'm doing one class a week for the international students at Uni but it's not too hard because they're all super-fluent anyway.
Hope you keep living it up mate!
- Rob
