Daily Life – 26.06 – 30.06.2010

*phew* I finally have all my assessments done this term! (4 maths tests in a row is very very icky…) My desk was piled up with various maths notes and gunk, but this afternoon, it was mainly clearer of paper…

But *brrrr* it’s cold!! *grabs Snuggie*

Daily Life – 18.06 – 25.06.2010

It has been a rather slow week, generally uneventful in terms of the outside world. School, work… There’s been a lot going on in regards to politics here… But in terms of things that effect me directly, four maths tests spread over today, and the next few days. Should be fun.

I also received a to boxes from places I usually buy from. So more money down the drain…

I’m also trying to deal with a slightly shady Nigerian Buyer on eBay… O_o

My Blog Turns Two!

Huzzah! Another milestone for my blog! Though… I don’t know too many people who read this, but hey, two years in, and I’m still bloggin’!

Have had lots of development over the past two years, mainly moving hosts every now and again, and more recently settling ifor my own domain name, http://gochisou-deshita.net, instead of hopping round free-web-hosting sites.
As you may have noticed, I’ve changed my blog’s layout a bit, to match closer with how my main domain looks. There’s a bit here and there to still edit, hopefully I’ll get round to doing so.

Separate to this blog, I’ve created a Photolog, there you can see a visual representation of what happens in select parts of my life.

I’ve had lots of work to do the past few months, (I’m supposed to be writing a speech for English right now… So I’ll have to leave this celebratory post here) and so I haven’t been able to blog as often as I’d have liked. I’m also still yet to tidy up this blog, in order to organise it better, but I need time to do that… I will of course, continue blogging, and I shall hope to see this through for at least another year!

Thanks for reading!

So, as I get ready to leave the big city of Shanghai, for my smaller city of Sydney, I spent the last few days just doing some simple things… Nothing to taxing on my age…

China 2010 – My Days at World Expo 2010 – 20-21.05.10

A bit late, but there was a lot to sort through, and little time.

So, I spent two days at the World Expo 2010 being held in Shanghai, and here’s what I did there, and what we visited…
Photos of certain buildings at the expo are available here.

China 2010 – Nanjing-ing – 23-24.05.10

China 2010 – Food and Guilin Road – 22.05.10

Because we went to the Expo on the 20th and 21st, and returning home late on the 19th, I am a bit behind on my photolog.
I also have a lot of Expo photos to sort out. I’ve uploaded what we did on the 20th, but the Expo photos will come later… There’s a lot to write about.

What you see here, is the corner of Yishan and Guilin Roads. A small-ish, local shopping district, close to where I’m staying.
