Interesting day at the office (lol. middle aged, much.) - Charles set me up with a remote computer, so I can access their Chinese system, basically. As a result I've been searching job reference numbers all day (again. arrgh!), except this time I wrote them all down in a giant record book because apparently they keep paper records in case the computer system fails -_- sensible, but once again I am an archivist, archiving company names and the tonnage of Pb Concs. they decide to ship -__-; Not complaining too much though, it's better to have something to do, compared to yesterday~
Finally checked out trains to Qingdao properly, but I couldn't find any way to book tickets without going through an American site~ In the end I asked Sabrina for a hand and there's a ticket agency next to the office, so she'll take me there. I'm being baby-sat so badly
She doesn't seem too happy about me taking the train though, it's quite a long way to travel by train, planes are much more convenient. Problematically I travelled to China with an airline that allowed 10kg extra baggage free of charge, meaning I'm now excessively OVER-WEIGHT
Regardless of this Sabrina is argueing that 30kg of baggage is too much to take on a train and I should send it ahead, but I don't trust the university with its own underwear, let alone my luggage (I've over-used exasperated smileys... erm... :|).
There's also the reality that I can't afford a plane ticket, a train ticket alone is around £30+ and Sabrina's suggested going to Beijing at the weekend (again) because her Australian friends are coming over. They've actually got a plan though, as well as the Forbidden City they want to see the Bird's Nest Stadium and the Great Wall (organised buggers)
Either way I want to go, to be sociable and also because a weekend alone would end in staring at a wall or watching Yao Ming jump like some glorified grasshopper.
Anyway! I took some pictures of the buildings on the way home from work;
First is the giant crossing I have to navigate every day
The traffic lights broke today, so I got a taxi straight from the hotel. I figured if I was going to be hit by a car it'd be better to be in another car when it happens
Then there's the German church and concert hall,
And finally a strange horse statue near the hotel, there are a few of these random metal statues everywhere, usually of horses or children...

I'm waiting to get my revenge after I do the final and I guarantee my grade... Then I could probably egg his house as well =P 
O_o; seriously? I've never been with an airline that's allowed 2 bags 
your third picture kinda looks like a building we have on my campus at school!!
Our old looking buildings are amazing pieces of architecture for the time. Same with our modern buildings. Go to www.uwm.edu you may be able to check them out there, it's my schools website.
Wow that's tough having a paper system too 0__O Doesn't that mean there's twice as much work?
Yay horse statues! ^__^ They look like the one that next to water world 
ooo very pretty pics. OOOOOO HORSES YAY I am a huge horse fan
