After making our decision we walked around the mall at the city center. It was very interesting…I can’t wait to document that later. We stopped for lunch at Pizza Hut (Joanna and Re-alta picked it…they can’t get over the fact that we are Americans and will only like American things). Pizza hut was actually different, a lot of the piz-a (Chinese for pizza…I love the translations that are based on pronunciation) looked really good!
While at lunch I remembered the e-mail I got from an Australian woman who lives in Huizhou with her husband, she put the name of the apartment where they live. It was the same place that we had just chosen. She loves it there! She said they also had friends who live in Park Royal (Apartment #2) and they have trouble getting taxi’s and they don’t have many neighbors, where as they are able to get taxi’s within five min. at any point of the day.
We headed off to Re-alta’s office to collect the contract and to kill time before we met with the owner for negations (or so we thought). We actually stopped in front of a school “Thames Language School” a place I found online and that was recommended to Adam on his last visit. We went inside and met with the headmistress who was British. She said they weren’t looking for anyone now but they did have a new teacher in their new kindergarten at their other location (which happens to be right next door from our new apartment) who could use some volunteers. She also mentioned that there was a bar just down the street and if we ever wanted to get away from the whole “China thing” she said after hours there are always members of the language school (that speak English) hanging out…so Adam got excited as well!
