Long Sunday Post

6/7/2015

My last post was a mere two days ago but since this weekend was the one where I resolved to get my name seal, I decided to record the experience while it's still fresh. This is actually my second attempt to post but due to internet issues and weird things with weebly, it got lost in the ether somewhere.

Anyway, I ventured out on Saturday after lunch to look around and wandered. I was kind of intimidated by the attention I got and since I had read a lot about name seals in English but didn't know much about what to say in Chinese. After a few walks around and a venture down DaPing Lu to find a bunch of tea shops, I finally decided to ask my liaison to come with me which I've avoided doing partly because she has a daughter in Changsha that she only sees on the weekends. To my surprise, she actually agreed to come the very next day when she was done teaching classes. I had just asked her if there was a good day to go together because I assumed she would be away, but I guess with the high school entrance exam coming up she had to teach classes on Sunday morning as well as Monday-Saturday. So we agreed to meet when she was done teaching. We left at about 11:30 together. Actually, I’ve never really asked her to come with me for much of anything. I tend to look up words on my own or move on my own. She goes shopping with the other foreign teacher a lot but since I’ve never been too into all the clothes (they’re fun to look at, but wearing and using them is something else for me). She said she was actually happy to help in this case since she spends so much time trying to think of what might interest us around here and my inviting her allowed her to see some of my interest. She also took on the job of liaison to improve her English so there’s that aspect as well.
