rupert and hannah

So, the photos will not make much sense since the text I wrote has disappeared, grrr, it took me ages to write. So, until I find the strength to re-write it all here is a little over-view to keep it in context.

We were invited to a formal banquet held by the government, attended by the Governor of Hainan, the ex-president of Taiwan (and his wife) and foreign guest (like us). It was to celebrate the 56th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The food was amazing and it was great fun. Then we went to a beach the next day and chilled out, it is the start of our eight day holiday (though we have to make up for the lost days by teaching over the next few weekends).

Finally, I have been asked to give a lecture on any aspect of Western culture. So I am gonna waffle on about dance music for two hours, heaven! Loads of foreign teachers get asked to do this, it is nothing special.

Right, that is roughly what has happened over the last few days, we will add more detail later...
