I initially planned to stay in Nanjing and just indulge, but I realized I should make use of these five days off. No one would help me move my belongings to my new school until after the holiday anyway. So, I booked a train ticket to Chongqing. Then, in my infinite wisdom, I thought it might be a good idea to reserve my return train to Nanjing. The bosses want to send me back on February 5th, but every train for that date was sold out. So, I ended up booking a train for February 7, which will get me into Nanjing on February 8. If they have an issue with it, they can just deal with it. This led me to hurry and pack everything, as I had no clue what the cleaning staff would do on February 5. I informed my boss that my bags were packed in my room, except for some laundry I did on the day I left (another mistake). I still haven’t heard back from her about that.
Anyway, the train ride was pleasant, apart from a woman who brought two children but only purchased two beds for the three of them. When I saw them entering my compartment, I was like, no way. I requested a change of bunks. Later, around midnight, we were passing through Hubei province and saw fireworks lighting up the sky as we went by. Upon arriving in Chongqing, I checked into my hostel around 3 p.m. I should have opted for a proper hotel instead of a hostel, but maybe I’ll learn someday. When I entered the room, a Russian woman had her belongings sprawled across the floor. I told her to just let me know, as I really needed a shower, and she replied, “It’s not going to take long, is it? Because I need one too…” So, I took what I thought was a lengthy shower to annoy her, but when I finished, SHE STILL HADN'T FINISHED packing her things. I couldn’t understand why she was so concerned about my shower when her stuff was everywhere. Then she started grilling me about my job in Nanjing, and I really wasn't in the mood to complain again. Every time I answered, it seemed like she couldn’t fathom how bad it was. “Your school is in a field?” Yes, it’s in a field. “There aren’t any shops around?” No, no shops. “There must be some stores.” No, there are really no shops. Just trust me, it’s a terrible school. She got on my nerves... I quickly got dressed and went to see the Huguang Guild Hall. It was a large house meant for people from the countryside immigrating to Chongqing, but I think it was only for those from Hubei, Hunan, or Guangdong.

Altstadt und Höhlen.

Ein sehr feuchter Berg und ein sehr überfülltes Panda-Schutzgebiet.
Wir haben 2 Wochen in Peking verbracht. Am Tag nach unserer Ankunft in Peking gingen wir zum Chao Yang Park (Sonnenpark) und mieteten ein Entenboot. Es war sehr langsam, aber es hat Spaß gemacht, damit über den See zu fahren.
Vor kurzem hatte ich die unglaubliche Gelegenheit, auf Einladung eines Freundes Guilin, China, zu besuchen. Ich muss sagen, dass dieser Ort mit seiner atemberaubenden Schönheit alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Lassen Sie mich ein wenig über meine Erfahrungen in Guilin berichten und einige praktische Tipps für diejenigen geben, die eine Reise nach China planen.

Ich teste immer noch mein Knie, also besuchte ich den Zhou-Garten" (eigentlich kein Garten) und die Wenfeng-Pagode, die beeindruckend, aber für mich schwer zu erklimmen war.
I was initially planning to stay in Nanjing and gain some weight, but I figured I should take advantage of my five days off. Since no one would help me transport my belongings to my new school until after the holiday, I decided to book a train to Chongqing. Then, in a stroke of brilliance, I thought I should probably arrange my return train to Nanjing. The management wants to send my things on February 5, but can you believe every train is fully booked for that day? So, I ended up booking a train for February 7, arriving in Nanjing on February 8. If they have an issue with it, they can just deal with it, I suppose. This meant I had to hurry and pack everything since I had no idea what the cleaning crew would do on February 5. I informed my boss that the bags were packed in my room, except for some laundry I did on the day I left (another mistake). I still haven't heard back from her about that.
