Oh, July, won't you come soon?!
Yesterday
I attended the STS training here in Stockholm. Boring. I have been on
the same training the last four years. However, it is always good to
meet old friends. But now I am really starting to look forward to
departure the 3rd of July. It's not too far away!
I am trying to
learn some basic Chinese which is easier said than done. There are so
many weird sounds that makes pronounciation really hard. But I am doing
my best. I am also starting to do research on Beijing and Chinese
culture. I want to be able to give my students the best experience ever
so I need to be really prepared.
There are a number of things I want to know:
1) Prices. How much is a Bic Mac? A pint of beer? A basic digital camera? A laptop? A tailor made suit?
2) Will there be a lot of open wifi hotspots? How much is it to use the Internet in our hotel?
3)
Is the "real" Chinese food healthy? Will I lose weight? (having a
gastric bypass in September so it doesn't really matter, but it would
be good not to weigh more when I come home).
4) How would the
Chinese see me? The fat, big, south Asian looking guy? Born in
Thailand, adopted and been living my entire life in Sweden. Will this
be a problem? Kinda hoping that the Chinese ladies would see me as
hunky and good looking, but perhaps I should just keep on dreaming...
