Alright so since there have been issues taking out enough money in a single day, we had to hold out on moving into our apartment because they ask for like 5 months rent in advance, which makes a lot of sense. On the day we finally had this, we were told that they had given our apartment to someone else, so here we are again, still stuck squatting at Ross and Greg's place. Today I think we're going to be shown a few apartments, so hopefully we'll be moved out, I'm starting to feel bad about holing up here. We've gone out two nights here in Hangzhou, and for the most part the bars that the expats and teachers hang out in are pretty legit, and the beer is usually around 2 or 3 dollars. Last night we went into a Chinese rock and roll bar, and this foursome was bellowing out John Bon Jovi's "It's my Life" to great cheers from the crowd, which I found to be absolutely hilarious. One downside is the fact that a very large mouse ran over my foot at the first bar we went into, which made me want to cut my foot off or dip it in bleach. We start teaching today which should be very interesting because we kind of have no idea what we're going to be doing. A couple of the other teachers at our school had visa issues and have to go home to fix them, so they're throwing us right in to substitute. For those that remember my job as a camp counselor at Happiness Is... for the Winnetka park district, I think my skills with children speak for themself, so I'm not that worried about it
