The Lost Week + Pub Golf

It's already been two weeks since I updated this? My sense of time is getting warped, what with never-ending things that need to be done. Things that won't be covered in the next few posts in detail but are still very interesting:

1) It's been 20 degrees here most days this week, I've even worn just a t-shirt sometimes. Remember, it snowed last week. They say that Beijing doesn't have Spring and Autumn, there's just Winter and Summer, and it certainly seems that way to me. Loving it, though.

2) I got a job teaching English, 3 evenings a week, which has left me with even less time, but on the other hand I am earning some decent money

So that, plus study, basically occupied last week. So naturally, I was fairly keen for the weekend, and what better way to celebrate than a round of pub golf, organised by one of the language students here. Each pub is a hole, and to get par you drink what the scorecard tells you to. I got considerably below par. Above is our group photo, in front of Helen's (fast becoming the new local). Was great timing to be doing this on the same night as the Engi Pub Crawl, it let me feel a little bit of a connection to home strangely enough
