Show me the money!

Today was a good day at work.  It was a good day at work because--duh-du-du-dah!--I got paid.
My first paycheck in China.
Muir and I celebrated by going out for the second cheapest dinner we've found so far in Beijing, which was two big bowls of wonton soup in the cafeteria basement of the Hua Lian supermarket.  This past Monday, the boss and I finally signed my contract, so that's why I was especially happy that the company honored their promise to pay me for the past few weeks of work.

On Wednesday I had a substitute Chinese teacher because my usual teacher was sick and had gone to the hospital.  I'm not sure exactly what was wrong, but I'm guessing something to do with his upper respiratory system.  Don't worry, I feel fine.  I was mostly disappointed with the substitute's teaching style and am looking forward to my usual teacher's return.

  1. Sorry to hear about your language teacher; I hope he feels fully better soon. But good to hear about the signed contract and paycheck. Maybe now your name will be added to Flow's website?
