One of my favorite co-workers is trying to base our friendship on politics. I constantly explain to her that i do not watch the news or have any interest in politics, she does not understand this, but goes on to ask me my views about Obama. When i suggested he was OK, her face suddenly changed like I had said (China is bad). So i quickly said, I do not like him. LOL, now she knows where my loyalties lie (at least for a year). Apparently, she does not like Obama because he supports Japan, so in her view that automatically makes him an enemy of China. Again, I have no views on this, I do not care. I just want to get paid and party all night.

Tibet, Taiwan, Japan, Tienanmen square. These are popular issues we are advised not to discuss with Chinese people, due to the sensitive nature of such issues. Also Chinese whispers is real, the language barrier can easily lead to word mis-interpretation, so it is best to avoid such topics either way.

Today was really stressful, I had five lessons and two of my classes were really noisy, so I taught for half the lesson and let them go. This is why i have very little to write, I can bitch about my school kids all day but this would be rude right??
