Don’t ask me what’s going on, because I don’t really know. All I know is that China is currently experiencing nuttiness, and it has nothing to do with peanuts or cashews. For quite a while now, we knew that our flight school would not be allowed to fly during the Olympics, since we are located in the same province as an Olympic city. Fine, okay. Then we learned we could not even go near the airport to work. Okay, whatever. I don’t really think of myself as a security risk, but whatever. Now, I’ve been told I can go to Shanghai with the other instructors who were scheduled to go there for an exam, instead of staying in Linyi to teach English classes. And when I return, I’ll have to pack up my stuff and leave Linyi until the Olympics (and Para-Olympics) are over. Because of the Olympics, because of security, we’ll be relocating to Qingdao, an Olympic city. Yeah, I just don’t get it either. Olympics-Shympics.
So, tomorrow I will leave for four days in Shanghai and for the weekend I will most likely be in Qingdao, until sometime in September. The good news is that Internet access is much better in both of those places. Good-bye Linyi.
