Many goings on...

Thought it was about time for a post here, a lots happened in these past weeks...

Just got back from Portugal, had an awesome time there!! Saw all the sights of Lisbon, Faro, Albufeira, Portimao and many other places you've never heard of... My parents were out there too, we saw them for two days. It was sooo hot down there, I absolutely loved the weather. However, coming back, not happy, the weather is shit! Rainy and cold, good Asturian weather!! However, this will not last for long as we're moving to the warm climate of Fuzhou in South East China in a matter of days.

Yeah, I said good bye to our boss (yesterday) of the academy, which wasn't the nicest conversation in my life, oooooooo! And we're packing our bags as we speak!!! We'll be flying off to Shanghai very shortly and to our new abode in Fujian province. We've been offered a lucrative job in Minjiang University, that means we'll be University teachers!!! So that means no more sweet teenagers, no more sending people out, no more "-1 for speaking Spanish" or for the smaller one's " ): unhappy face for speaking Spanish"!!!

So we're definitely looking forward to that. It's Carolina's first time in China, so she's caking her pants as we speak, as is her family!!! I enjoyed the phone call to her mother when aparently she was speechless!!! Happy times!! Last time in China my mother refused to visit, but the lure is becoming too much I think... we'll see though.

So we've already planned a trip to Hong Kong to get our official visas so look out for photos of that soon, as well as many other trips around the place.

I'm going to leave you with a description of Fuzhou which sounds really cool....

"Capital of Fujian provice, Fuzhou is a 2,000-year-old city with rich cultural heritage. It lies opposite Taiwan across the strait. The city abounds in banyan trees that were mostly planted at the time of the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 960-1127). So Fuzhou is also known as Rong Cheng, meaning the City of Banyans. Fuzhou has been the native place of famous men over the generations who made history. More historical sites are found in the city of Fuzhou than most of other Chinese cities. The three hills of Yu, Wu and Ping stand at triangular positions, while the two pagodas Bai Ta(White Pagoda) and Wu Ta (Black pagoda) face each other at a distance. These make up the city's landscape. Places of interest include the residence stone carvings and the cork sculpture, are objects of admiration since early on both in China and abroad. Fuzhou has abundant hot springs, and good quality hot spring water is supplied at the bathrooms of hotels. Fuzhou is also famous for culinary art. Gourmets' fascinations are such delicacies as Fo Tiao Qiang (Buddha-Jumps- Over-The-Wall) and clams in chicken soup. Fuzhou is accessible by modern routes of communication. It welcomes tourists from abroad and elsewhere in China".
