What shop is that?
How difficult is it to exist in China without understanding Chinese? Earlier I promised to post a range of photos showing shop fronts. I defy anyone who has no Chinese to identify these shops. Hint: most of them are restaurants and liquor/gift stores. And one is a foot massage shop - look for the feet!

Hi!
My name is Paul (from Australia also) and I will be travelling to Jinan towards the end of July to teach english. I'm keen to read more about your experiences so far and to hear about how your uni is treating you, how you are finding the teaching and how you are finding your accomodation? Hope you are having a great time. It's good to see there are other Aussies in Jinan!
Hello Paul You might find the links from this site useful. Also have a look at www.homeinjinan.blogspot.com for the sultions to some of the problems I faced. Best of luck! David
