Nearly Finished
So here I am, with only two days of teaching left and how to I feel? Eh. Its that feeling of ending something where half of you feels happy and half sad, so you end up feeling a little indifferent.
So the visa news is that although I think it is possible to get a visa, my school are unwilling to help me, so next weekend I'm off to Hong Kong to get a new visa and have a weekend break. Hopefully I'll have somewhere to stay as the accomodation there is a wee bit expensive. I'm quite looking forward to having a look round HK though and getting a bit of Western-culture relief.
Now I'm off to do some packing, but this weekend should be alright. We're having a big goodbye meal for the teachers we know in Beijing, and some drinks and then I think there'll be some shopping, and only a little bit of teaching.
Have a good one all!

(18.6.04 09:48) Hi Emma. I did my gap year in HK it was fab, we met a few gappies from China when they came and crashed at our flat. Have you tried contacting gap organisations in HK to save you a few pennies/dollars? |

(19.6.04 00:06) keep on blogging, won't you... even when you are Emma (not currently) in China...! |

Lohr / Website (19.6.04 17:50) Do keep writing... Perhaps you can become an expat in Macao... |

(22.6.04 02:42) Yes, it's vital you keep writing when you're Emma not in China. I intend to keep blogging if I ever leave New Malden, which doesn't currently seem likely. |

(22.6.04 02:43) p.s. how are you finding Sophie's World? You seem only to read books I've already read, which shows you've got very good taste, psychosomatically speaking. Well, not psychosomatically speaking, really. I just wanted to check I could still spell it. |
