Wow, things are quiet here! No one has posted for so long. C’mon people, write something!

I thought that I would post very briefly to say that I started Chinese lessons yesterday. I will be having three hour-long Chinese lessons a week and I don’t have to pay a penny, which is superb. Last night we started straight into things. The lessons move very quickly through the material. We started to learn how to pronounce the four types of tones and the different initials, which was quite fun. I also learnt some basic greetings. I have another lesson this evening.

Life is good here, although a number of my friends are feeling ill at the moment. So far I have not caught ‘fresher’s flu’ (the flu that goes around after you return to university), but I am not sure that I will finally escape it.
