YUSSSSS I am in Yiwu and ready.
The end of Kunming was truly amazing I juat had the most amazing time that I want to DIE. I loved it so much. On Thursday night we had a bit of a party at a hostel bar with many foreigners it was awesome. All of us made it there and had a blast. Last night we just all chilled in Jack's room then up at 4 45 am to say goodbye to the earlybirds, which was really sad we seem to have just bonded like sticky tape to a painted wall.
Made it to Hangzhou at about 3 30 then headed off to Yiwu with our link teacher who is a bit weird but kind. He took us out for dinner with some of the other teachers and a couple of the wealthy students and their parents. Which was really kind but awfully strange. They just kept filling our glasses with red wine and cheersing us, which meant drink up. Then they took us to the supermarket and shouted us some towels and cleaning product etc.
Our flat is amazing!!!! We have two massive bedrooms with double beds air conditioning computer printer microwave clean water cooler and all. Plus wireless connection which fricking rules!
Tomorrow the Chinese english teacher is taking us out at 10am. She is really nice and seems like a laugh.
The boys in our province, Jonny and Dylan are only about 40mins away and Shanghai is about 3 hours. All very convenient. We have a week off this wek to figure out the city and prepare for class, then we have another week off in October along with EVERYBODY in China. So that will be a bit intense. I think we will try get to Shanghai to meet the others.
Anyway Lappy up and running. Therefore SKYPE ME BABY

Great Work on making it there!! Sounds like the flat will be good (don't love it up too much, or Cam and Penny might get jealous...). Looking forward to seeing some pics when you get time to put them up.
I'll try be logged into skype a couple of evenings this week so I can call you when you're online. When is the best time to try you??
All is good here. Had the weekend with Greg's work in Ohakune, then stopped in and watched Eliza play netball in Levin on the way home - random, but Peta was a fan I think.
Good luck settling in! Talk to you soon Slaam xxxx
Yiwu arrangements sound good (apart from the staff drinking games - it's not impolite to not buy into that, especially for girls). Glad the flat is so good, and the wireless is just great for us all....
It will be really good to have that week in October to look forward to.
Hope you have had a good day out with the English teacher today, and that you have a good time exploring Yiwu over the next few days. Will try and skype you soon.
Love Mum xxx
