Well, it's been a while, so I guess I should finally get around to posting something. I'm not sure if anyone's going to be reading this, but what the hell.

I've been meaning to write a bit about the godforsaken toilet facilities over here. It's not like I have to do my business in a hole in the ground or anything, but the plumbing system here is so antiquated that flushing paper down the WC isn't allowed. It all has to go into a waste bin. Uuugh. Sure, some people flush it anyway, but I don't really want to be in the position where I have to unclog the toilet. I have vivid memories of my Dad up to his elbows in crap when there was a blockage at our old farmhouse in England, not something I want to repeat myself.

What else? I've decided to learn Cantonese, just for the Hell of it. I'm getting a bit bored with Mandarin, now that I'm in a Mandarin-speaking country it doesn't seem quite so exotic as it used to. Of course, if I decide to go to Hong Kong next year then I'll have the same trouble with Cantonese, oh well.

I've decided to give up deciding where I'll go next year. Every time I make a decision I seem to take it back the day after and end up making a different decision. I've got lots to do in NZ as well, like sorting out buying a house, finding a temp job, getting a TEFL diploma, as well as possibly going to the UK if I can save up enough dough. If anyone has any suggestions of good places to work then let me know.
