zcat_abroadEvent? There is no event. Just work and more work. It doesn't help that there is no sleep, either. However, being in a big city, you sometimes see some interesting things rendered into English. Like the above, being one of the things you can find on the ground floor of the Silver Plaza.
Actually, there is some event. I will soon be world famous in China, or at least Shandong. On Saturday I, with one of my collegues, took part in a commercial selling some revolutionary new medicine. All it required was for me to look like a scientific type, listen and nod, and at the end to clap. It took four hours, but at 200 yuan an hour, I'm not really complaining.
Went to the zoo yesterday, and Greg saw his first real snake, closely followed by his first touch of a snake, then having the boa drapped round his neck for a photo. I got to feed a hippo, and tried to pat it, but the mouth has very sharp looking whiskers all around it.
In other news, I have decided to fire my family. I wrote to 3 out of 5 of them last week, and then managed, between power cuts, to reply to one friend. The friend wrote back within 2 days, and, over a week later, I'm still waiting to hear from family. And they complain if I let it go longer than a week without hearing from me.
Right, gripe over, time to teach tiny tots.
