Update

A couple of things have changed since my last post, the most important of which is that I started working on Monday. My job is at times confusing, but all in all a great opportunity to learn, especially since part of what I have to do is translate Chinese texts into English. Although that task isn't exactly ideal for somebody who is a self-professed analphabet (at least where Chinese characters are concerned), it has given me the chance to improve my reading comprehension in Chinese.

(I was given ten of these by my boss today...)

Anyway, I still enjoy it very much. 

There is also another thing that has changed since my last post. I've moved to another part of Shanghai, and the place where I live now is also my workplace, which is great, because the company I work for is something like a restaurant (it's not easy to explain), so I get three amazing Chinese meals a day and I don't even have to pay for them! (And anyone who knows me also knows how much I've been looking forward to eating Chinese food again!!)

The last thing that has changed within the past week is the weather. When I arrived in Shanghai it was rainy and very windy (typhoon!! but don't worry, as you can see I'm okay). While the weather still isn't as nice as it was when I was in Shanghai in 2012, it has stopped raining and it's warm (throughout the day) and hot (during the night). 

Oh, yes, and I also managed to figure out a way to access facebook, gmx and google. (I still can't believe that they blocked Google! And what do they gain by banning gmx?! I don't think that there are many Chinese people who even know about gmx, much less actually use it!!)

Sorry for the incredibly boring title by the way, but frankly, I'm too tired to think of something more creative. Good night :)
