I realise that I have much neglected this blog over the past 8 months, but as my time in China comes to an end, I am prompted to take a step back and appreciate what an adventure it has been! With just 2 weeks to go, exams are done, goodbyes have been said, and teaching has all but stopped. The weeks seem to pass with … Continue reading Leaving China
Having woken up to a message from school informing me that all classes would be cancelled today due to the arrival of Typhoon Haima, I finally have the time to write the posts I have been neglecting. We have been warned against going outside, so it’s just me and my laptop for the next 12 hours – or until the power goes down. 5 years … Continue reading Golden week (and why you should avoid it!)
If these four weeks are any indication of how fast the year is going to go by, then I had better warn you all now that a second year may be on the cards. I had a lovely first week exploring Foshan with my little sis; seeing the sights, introducing her to my new friends, and discovering some interesting dishes (including barbecued oysters and an … Continue reading Four weeks in Foshan

I don’t really know where to begin, since my last post I have been cramming in all the skiing I have had time for and suddenly I find myself at the official end of my year abroad and the start of my ridiculously long summer holidays! I still feel like I have only just got going and already lots of my friends have packed up … Continue reading Summer officially begins!
I know, yet again I have neglected my blog for well over a month but I have finally gathered the motivation to remember what I have been up to over the past weeks and write them all down. This month-and-a-bits events starts and end with visits from Jonny and lots of skiing. Amongst 3 great days skiing in les Deux Alpes and les 7 Laux on … Continue reading Things that happened in February and March
Where to start?! I have been back in Grenoble nearly 2 weeks now and have been trying my best to pack as much in as possible as I start to realise how little time I have left before I have to go back to the real world. 😦 I had the best 3 weeks at home over Christmas, enjoying multiple christmas parties, of course my … Continue reading I’m back in chilly Grenobes!
After having moaned about how much free time I had in my last blog post, the tables have now turned and I have had a fun-filled and very hectic last few weeks in the run-up to Christmas. I am currently sitting at Geneva airport with several hours to kill having spent a ridiculous amount on a coffee in Starbucks just so that I can sit … Continue reading Home time 🙂
First of all, I’m sorry for neglecting this blog for so long. So much has happened since I last wrote, from my first day skiing to first french haircut, falling off my bike and finally receiving my CAF money (miracle)! I will try my best to summarise in this post, all my tales from the past month. Since realising how fast time is flying past I … Continue reading A lot to catch up on
As promised, I have plenty of stories to tell from the past weeks adventures in and around Grenoble and also from dramas at home! I will start off with the Garden Snowboard festival last weekend where we spent Friday and Saturday night. Despite the miserable weather, we had an excellent two nights partying to Ms. Dynamite and the Folie Douce dj’s in the Stade des … Continue reading An eventful week
