Introductions

Don't be a s**t stirrer George!
By the way,welcome Wags,I'm new to the site also and I'm from Queensland!

Woohoo, QLDers everywhere! Me from Sunny Coast and been here 3 years now too !

Welcome, Wags.
You're fun to talk to and glad to see we can do it here too.

Hi Wags.  Nice ta meetcha!!

Welcome Wags, I assume you're volunteering to keep the bar stocked with cookies and bread?

 

Sorry KC, I've been here too long to know not to volunteer for anything unless suitably bribed.  (and then actually doing what you agreed is optional.) 

You didn't tell us if you were a banana bender, sand-groper, teritorian or came from one of the wussy states.

Welcome anyway - good to have someone else who can talk proper, and knows that the 1st floor of a building is the one ABOVE the ground floor.

You didn't tell us if you were a banana bender, sand-groper, teritorian or came from one of the wussy states.

Ummm...what?

Welcome wags. Feel free to deposit your sanity with the barkeep, you won't be needing it anymore.

Hi Guys,

This is my first foray into this forum. I received my TESOL certificate way back in July 2007 and registered with the Saloon in October. Thou I haven't posted, I have read most of the messages posted. I did accept an offer from Meihe Royal English School in Tonghua, Jilin Province. I'll be flying out of Toronto Canada Tuesday morning (Feb 26), arriving sometime next week (or so it seems), OK - Thursday afternoon in Tonghua.

If anyone has some info on the school itself, I would treasure it. I have done a lot of traveling in the past, but what I would really appreciate would be what is unique to North East China. I am  accustomed to the cold, large crowds (Toronto) bad transit, and not knowing if I will be paid next month.

I am so damn excited, most of my friend are all but shocked. Its not like its out of character, its WHY CHINA?  I replied, WHY NOT!

Welcome Dreamer, Why not is a great answer!  I know nothing about the school, but I'm happy to start you off on the drinking (on Bugs tab!).  have a nice cold and and settle in for the ride of your life.

Welcome Day Dreamer That is exactly the gung-ho spirit one needs to stay in and enjoy China. A good tip, if you are a coffee drinker, bring coffee...lots of coffee.

Welcome aboard Dreamer...why not indeed! There is coffee in China. I'm brewing up a pot right now. Bring books!

My tab??? I.... um..... well.... Ok. It has been quite a while since it was my round, and seeing as it's a tab i guess it's ok 'cause i don't plan on paying it any time soon hehehe
