A date with Cathy, eating my first brain and a rant about Chinese drivers!
Cathy is a star. She is the teacher who helped us both get sim cards towards the start of our time here. She has put a huge amount of effort in to both me and Anna (now gone North) to make us feel at home. Cathy likes Chinese food. Anna did not. I don't mind. So often 'dates' with Cathy ended up with a clash as to where we ate food. Usually Cathy gave in before Anna, and we ate 'western'. I am now back in Jiangkou and know that Cathy will be leaving in a month, and won't return for a year. She has won a prestigious scholarship at a University. Anyhow, I am back in Jongkou and thought I'd catch up with her. It appears that she is in the middle of a driving test. This surprised me, because the driving here is appalling! Everyday I am still amazed at the things I see, some of it just beggars belief! There are so many examples, but the one that really still annoys me is the combination of pedestrian and car....
