 We took a taxi and train to get back to Wuxi.

I took this photo at the gate of the Jiangyin apartment community.

From the Wuxi apartment, this is the grand sight:

Diggers and Dunp trucks.

5:53 PM View: Big Game & a Cigarette

 The Ayi was cleaning the apartment so I didn’t go home at lunchtime.

I left my apartment key at the school security gate so she could pick it up.

I wasn’t able to watch the big USA Canada hockey game; I was able to listen to it on YouTube however.  Tony joined me later.  We were having lunch when the game winning goal was scored.  Tony was all happy.

A security guard offered me a cigarette.  I gladly took it. I initiated the conversation with the Chinese I knew.  I learned that the guard was from  Lianyungang, Jiangsu, as was his wife.

 My son Tony:  “Hey Dad!  Let me leave first!”

Me:  “Okay!”

Me:  “Hey Tony!  You cal leave first!  Ha ha!”

My son Tony:  “aaahhhhh!!”

4:52 AM View: Friday Morning, Big Game

 I’m hoping I can watch the big Canada USA game this morning.  It starts at 9:00 AM local time.  What do I want to see happen;  a nice and tough old-fashioned game of shinny.

Flight to Canada was booked last night.

Should have done this last evening.

11:51 AM View: Worst part of the week done

 Done with the BMs (this is code) for this week.

My quandary has been solved.

July is the flight.

Not many students have visited the Russia stores that have opened up in China.

5:13 AM View: Whistling Wind

 It musty have been breezy outside last night.  I could hear the wind whistling.

Friday morning, I’ll be watching the big game from Boston, I hope.  I hope I’ll be able to find the game broadcast on a platform in China and not have to pay for it.

5:03 PM View: A Quandary

 Suppertime:  Green String Beans & Scrambled Eggs.

Quandary:  It’s like this:  we would have to pay 8,000 RMB for Tony to take four Cambridge Exams.  Jenny doesn’t want to pay for this.  Since Tony’s going to Canada, Jenny wonders if he would even to do the exams.  I asked ChatGPT and it told me that Jenny may well be right.  And since Tony is so shitty at school, we would be saving money on taking the exams.  The only problem is that Tony would have no incentive to do anything for May and June.  My idea is to have him take one exam in the subject for which he is most confident.  Tony would be happy to not take exams.  He doesn’t like my idea to even take one exam.  But of course, he has no proposal for what to do in May & June beside nothing.

When you fight corruption, the corrupt will fight back.

 Lunchtime.  I kept myself busy this morning prepping.

Lunch: Cheese Sandwich.

Who did I talk to this morning?  Beside Tony, no one.
