It's been a slow few days in Tianjin... not too much going on for the New Year holiday. Hopefully things will pick up once we're back at school and starting to teach some of our own classes.
A quick lesson in Chinese money... the currency is yuan, and the bills come in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100. The 100 is their biggest bill and only equal to about $15 US (0r £10 for my British fans :)
The other day, we got reimbursements for our visa fees and pre-arrival medical exams. The school handed over an enormous wad of cash...well over $1000 all in $10 bills. It definitely looked like some shady drug deal... but hey, I'm not complaining. Cash is cash, and I'll take whatever they want to give me.
