I got home quite late last night from my outing to Shanghai. As I came out the lift onto the landing the family in the unit opposite were seeing their guests off and so I politely said hello. To my surprise I knew the next door neighbour, what are the chances of that. This was Tom who had been my first student when I arrived in China and I always new that this apartment block looked familiar, but now I know why because I had been here before, almost 12 months ago in fact.

So how bizarre is that? I just can’t go any where any more.
