3/28/13
I arrived today on
schedule and was met at the airport by someone from the school. I would have liked some information about the city as we drove through, but the girl who met me didn't know much to tell me. She said she just handles the work permits and doesn't know about other things. She seemed quite young, not long out of high school.
They
brought me to the hotel and unloaded my baggage, then left me to navigate from there. My room phone isn't working, so I went down to reception to call in to the school. Tomorrow I will go in to the school in Songjiang
suburb (where I will be teaching) and someone there will help me get a new cell
phone and find an apartment. I have to take the subway and a taxi on my
own, so it will be an adventure and I hope I go in the right direction!
I am at a hotel where
the staff doesn't speak English much, but with some help (by calling my contact
at the school, so she could talk to them) I got them to come fix the internet
connection, so I have email and Skype, thank God!
On Monday I start three
days of training at the main office here in Shanghai.
