Good advice all! Thank you, and thanks for the anti-burglary wishes 🙂
The only really valuable stuff they got was the netbook and iPad, but they had all my writing on them (my memory stick was in the netbook)and pictures etc…so a little gutting.
Will take myself down to Comp City for sure and do some noseying.
You guys are stars thank you so much! The external keyboard option sounds great actually, I hadn’t thought of that…will check all these out. Thanks again and don’t worry – I was just the victim of rubbish luck I’m sure!
Agh Jerry, it’s a sad tale…they got in with a credit card by all accounts. Locks now changed, obviously.
Fed – thanks for helping! I’m basically looking for the cheapest going – really unsure how much they go for new, but I’ve seen a couple on Taobao for 1000 kuai or thereabouts…I need it for writing and Skyping basically, so I’m not fussy (not to sound like too much of a stereotype!)
Thanks guys!
Succumbed to drinking the tap water within a week, due to waking up with a raging hangover and not being able to face the walk to the shop. No negative effects thus far…
I’m off on Monday, so keen if people are still up for this? Still a bit sore after a wee run-in with a car on my bike, but will woman up for the occasion!
O sweet thank you! My birthday is on 17th December so may have to rock down to the one on 15th to celebrate 🙂
Yeah, tried to buy tickets for Sun but they’re sold out, so decided to head to the night market near Jin Jiang Hotel for some BBQ and drinks instead – any and all are welcome to that too!
Look forward to updates, thanks man!
Bahaha! Charlie that is genius. Just made me snort out loud in the office.
Iona, sounds brilliant! Will come bearing toffee apples 🙂
Haha! I know man! Not a full day unfortunately, but will be freeee from 6ish and very up for my favourite festival! Location might be tricksy I suppose…my flat is teeny and def will not accomodate a bonfire (even a small one)…what do people think? xxxx
YES! So up for this – i even have Sun eve off 🙂
Would love to make some toffee apples…anyone up for making a guy?
xx
This looks amazing!! Need to get some time off to do this…thanks for sharing your lovely photos!

Hey Karen,
Sound advice on this thread, but it shouldn’t be impossible for you to get a job by any stretch – the language school I work for employ local teachers, Australians, Americans, Indians, Canadians and Brits.
I would definitely do the CELTA – you may not ‘need’ it in order to get a job, but it’s invaluable in terms of equipping you with the skills to teach. I’m really glad I did mine – worth every penny!
Would also thoroughly recommend jacking in your job and moving to Chengdu – I LOVE it so far!
PM me if you ever need anything – I’d be happy to help 🙂

So gutted to miss this – once again work is EATING MY LIFE, haven’t been able to polo for the same reason. BOO. Have fun guys!

Brilliant idea, I’ll be there as long as work allows! Am pretty much a complete novice thought – will that be cool?

Ach Jenise you beat me to it!
If anyone has any Chinese workbooks going spare I’d be ever so grateful…long shot but there it is!
Will be back with offerings of my own once I have accumulated some actual Stuff.

Awwww you guys! You are too kind. Thank you all for coming, it was such a cool night – let’s definitely do something again soon. THanks for the photos Charlie!
