View from My Balcony

May 5th Yantai 001

This is the view from my balcony today. I finally got off my lazy butt and did some exercise at the school stadium (not pictured). I negotiated a new contract today for another year, ending in July 2009. I made a commitment to myself to stay away from bad influences and seek out the good ones. I am going to cook pork noodles tonight, and my neighbor brought over some kind of leafy vegetable for me, so that will become part of my noodles too.

I am reading this great book about China called Oracle Bones. Some of the real characters in the book were able to save $5000 USD in one year, on less than half of my salary; that is inspiring me to save money. My clothes are outside drying right now.

Here are two pictures of my living room, so you can see how I live.
