Rob - gifts to an employee is not condoned by many bosses. In restuarants it is instant dismissal to take a tip. They want everyone to be treated the same. Tipping and gifts can make a person provide you with a better service than a person who has not given a tip or gift.

Well guys this morning Irang the company about going for interview, one was arranged at 12.30, so I went to the office to get them to take me there. Once inside the building which was huge, I asked what floor the company was on and no one knew, I must have been at the front desk for about 35 minutes:huh: I eventually went up in the lift and checked the offices myself, guess what, I found it.
Anyway we went to the language school and I done a demo class for about 40 minutes. Just my luck 5 mins ago I got the phone call saying I was unsuccessful:s But no matter there are plenty more schools I will apply to. We cant all be msterbrains and handsome (1 out of 2 aint bad for me:icon_cheesygrin:)
After my class I went to the agency office, I met all the translators and spoke to the one I used so all was cool. She apparently was gutted when it happened and told me she "tried her best to talk her out of the decision", and said "thank all your friends for my busy days:huh:" hahaha. Anyway once in the office Choo (who is a chef) cooked lunch for us all (except the translators), so Jennifer and I got talking and decided that the most important thing at the moment was work and apartment, before looking for ladies, which I agreed with.
We then went into town to do some shopping and go to the bank to make sure I had money in:icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin: After the bank I went and bought a phone and simcard which I can now use over here.:angel: Here i my number for those who may want it when in China 152 532 473 51. so now I came back to the hotel and going to rest, sleeping has not been the easiest thing I've been able to do. Arrangments have been made for me to go back to the office tomorrow and then go out some sight seeing, wher I should be able to take some pictures. Apparently Julie, Jennifers sister told me in confidance that Jennifer likes me a lot, "You are not what she expected, your a fun guy she said". It certainly looks that way to me, she IS bending over backwards to help me in any way, which of course I am thankful for. It seems like my opinion has changed since yesterday.
Oh guys another thing I forgot to mention, on the way to the company, i saw an old man being run down, he was on a bike cutting across from pavement to pavement and a little van put him up in the air. Not sure if he ws badly hurt, he did look dazed:@ I said from the start that this place was an accident waiting to happen:s
