Back at work

As from May 8th we started work again. Now, the sun and heat has made it to Guilin. While it is lovely in the evenings, all we do during the day is sweat, sweat, sweat… Luckily, Johanna’s sister left us with some good deodorant; otherwise our students would probably fall unconscious.

Yet, we are really enjoying our last two months here. Lee enjoys going to the local market to buy fresh vegetables and fruit, and the stall sellers always have a big smile for the big white man with the big (now red) nose. Johanna is determined to learn as much Chinese as possible in the time remaining. Jan, our visitor, put us to shame, by speaking and understanding as much as us within two weeks!
