I sometimes suspect that most of you back in the UK (or wherever that happens not to be China) don't get quite how hilariously bad the majority of English translations are over here. Que link to amusing article in the New York Times... Proof I am not making this up!
If you haven't checked out any of the links towards the left of the screen yet, I'll introduce them now. Here are links to a load of blogs kept by fellow teachers here in China - Jess, Dan, Marcus and Kevin. While I can't say I know them all well, I have met each of them at some point while travelling round and they're good guys. Have a look for a deeper insight into teaching English over here.
Also down there is a link to a new blog site that Anthony has just set up. It's called 'Learn In China/Learnin' China'. This is a resource site that we hope to build up together, with some help from whoever wants to contribute, that will help us learn Chinese here. If you're interested in the language, take a peek. It's new, but will grow with time.
That's all, save to say that 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' is the best rhyme ever invented. Lovin' it in the classroom right now...

The title says it all really. I am a 24 year old Brit in Lanshan, Hunan Province, China, teaching English at a middle school. All this is one big adventure and there are stories to tell.
About Me
- David
- Lanshan, Hunan, China
- I am a British big-nose taking some time out to experience China at the sharp end. And man is it sharp sometimes! A natural career break has provided the perfect opportunity to venture halfway round the world and have the time of my life while contributing something at the same time. This is mainly for the benefit of the family and friends I've left behind but if you've discovered it for yourself then please say hi! Cu all soon, dave.x
