It has cooled down!

Last night was the first night we have had the windows open and a cool breeze blowing through the apartment. Yesterday we only had the air conditioner on for a few hours in the afternoon. We have had quite a bit of rain - mostly during the night. Two nights ago we had thunder and it was loud, loud loud.

We now have our work visa and are legal in the country until July 30. We just heard today that one couple in our group got to Beijing and was sent right back to the US. They had to go through the visa process all over again and just got back to the PRC this week. I am not sure if I understand the problem, but it might have been that they didn't have a marriage certificate with them.

This week I got the rest of my teaching assignment. I have six two hour classes per week: History and Culture of the British Isles, one class of "Oral English" and four classes of "Listening and Speaking". I am not sure that I understand the distinction between the last two.
