Olympic Opening Ceremony
Olympic Opening Ceremony wanted to give this its own post just to say it ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY AWESOME
Medical tests etc
When I last posted that the visa procedure seemed overkill that was before I attempted to get the medical checks arranged in the UK.
Three visits to local GP one to local hospital and one trip to private hospital and over £200 lighter and having taken just over 2 weeks the information is now complete and heading to China and some how the rest of the procedure does not feel so onerous now.
So still hope I am on track for September just not sure yet when in September all i know is I cant wait to finally be on my way.
Have just purchased another hard suitcase so am ready for the packing just feel like I'm marking time in UK now and want to be in China getting stuck in to my new job and new life.
Have also upgraded my laptop and bought a digital camera to supplement my 35mm camera really looking forward to exploring and getting some decent photographs.
From what I've managed to find out Wuhu seems like it should be OK at this moment I am optimistic about the move and hope I can pick up some Chinese language skills along with some new friends at work and away from work.
There is a language school in Wuhu so I plan on booking some lessons and also keen to maybe do some volunteer work maybe I can make use of my English skills all be it with a Geordie accent not sure what the locals will make of that.
