Hi everyone, it's Arnold here ๐Ÿ‘‹

I've been coming to China since 2002, and it was great to be back last month and have a firsthand look at what China is all about nowadays๐Ÿ‘€

Happy Teachers' Day to all our amazing teachers in China! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

Education is considered incredibly important in China, which is why they set aside a day to celebrate their teachers, and it's today!

We're excited to see a new group of teachers get started in China this month, in cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Nansha, Suzhou, Chengdu and Xi'an.

You've all done so much to get everything organised to get to China, and we knew you'd be fantastic teachers ๐Ÿ’ช

I've come to the end of my time in China and it's been great to back. I recorded a series of videos for our YouTube channel yesterday.

They cover the state of the Chinese teaching market, essential preparations for those travelling to China, and my observations about China in 2024. Check them out on YouTube by searching for 'Teach English In China, part of Impact Teaching' ๐Ÿ‘€

Being in China is a massive adventure, and I can't wait to hear about the adventures of our teachers starting this month ๐Ÿ’ช

We ate dinner at , like we have a few times in the past weeks.

It's a chain with lots of restaurants all over Shanghai.

You start ordering by scanning a QR code, which takes you to an online menu.

It's all in Chinense which can be a little daunting, but it's very manageable using .

The way I've been doing it is taking screenshots of the pages I want to translate, and then using the camara function within Apple Translate to get the translation.

My meals came with free soup and cost only 29.9 RMB (about ยฃ3). I had a tea drink with it that was a another ยฃ1, so great value for a delicious meal ๐Ÿฅ˜

Went to Yu Garden and & Bazaar tonight, one of the most famous places in Shanghai ๐ŸŒƒ๐Ÿ‘€

It's part classical garden, part nightmarket, all next to the famous City of God Temple.

Confused? So was I ๐Ÿ˜‚

But it's a really cool place to visit and I've not seen such a busy spot in my two weeks in China ๐Ÿ“

It's near Yuyuan Garden on metro lines 10 & 14 ๐Ÿšˆ

It was good to meet up with Lilian, Lee and Juri yesterday๐Ÿ˜€

We've worked with them since 2019, and they have helped many of our teachers settle in during their first year in Shanghai. They provide key services like help with finding housing, training, opening a bank account, the medical check, and accompanying teachers to doctor's visits when needed ๐Ÿ™Œ

At last night's teacher meeting in Shanghai, Olivia told us that since she arrived in March, she joined an Irish football club and also had also had some football sessions ๐Ÿ˜€โšฝ๏ธ

Joining a sports club is a great way to meet people aboard and stay fit.

I went to the Chinese Art Museum today in Shanghai and the exhibition of paintings was fascinating and impressive ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

The paintings covered all sorts of subjects, like family, construction and farmimg. There were also some that featured foreigners exploring China, and China's belt and road initiative in Africa.

There are multiple floors of this exhibition and I was only able to see some of it, so I hope to go back.

It's near the metro stop called China Art Museum on metro line 7 in Shanghai, and it's free of charge.

When I first discussed our China program with in 2019, he made a big impression on me.

Tsephi's background as a poet stood out especially, and I was pleased when he joined us as a teacher in Ningbo.

While we've spoken online over the years, we hadn't met up in person yet due to the pandemic.

It was great to make up for that today and catch up about life in China, being black in China, the city of Ningbo, and teaching at a vocational college.

I love meeting our teachers and alumni, as the shared experience of living in China means there's so much to talk about and reflect on ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ

I'm on the train back to Shanghai now, and I look forward meeting more of our teachers there tomorrow ๐Ÿš

I visited the Site of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai today, was it was a very interesting experience.

It's in the centre of Shanghai by a metro stop by the same name. It's a museum at the site where the Chinese communist party had their very first meetings in 1921.

It features a chronological journey from the foundation of the party to the modern day, with English language exhibits along the Chinese ones.

It's free of charge and if this is something you're interested in, I'd definitely recommend a visit ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ
