The never ending adventures of a Canadian who lives in Wuxi and Jiangyin, China with his Chinese wife Jenny and their son Anthony aka Tony
As promised, here is the final entry.
Here is where you can pay me money for the work I have done and the work I will continue to do.
Look to the right, and you will see a Buy Me a Coffee Button. Press it and follow the instructions. Thanks and God Bless!
This will be the second last entry of this blog.
I have decided to end the AKIC Blog now. With ten days left in, what I will call, my teaching English stint in China, I realize it’s time to concentrate on moving to Canada and my being in Canada. I’ve chronicled all I have done and seen in China. There is not anything else for me to tell you.
I have come to think that this blogging project of mine was just me blogging into the void. I had a few rare readers but not much interaction,
But, if I do in fact have rare readers, I do thank you for following my blog, and I hope you were tolerant of my lack of editing.
As I said, this is the second last entry of this blog. I will make an entry with links to whatever my blogging endeavor in Canada will be. I will still be uploading videos to Youtube: @wuxiandis.
Adieu! 再见! Au revoir! Adiós!
The countdown begins.
Genuine Intellectual Seriousness
Trump Disappointment Syndrome. If Trump can’t do it, it would seem no one can..
This blog’s dashboard says 1.6 million all time views.
Yesterday, Tony went to Shanghai to watch some summer basketball.
Today: Jiangyin to give back the apartment keys and whatnot.
Hopefully, I remember to take a final view photo.
I did remember to take that final view photo!
Feeling meh! Cloudy day and I am lacking vim.
The phone not charging up overnight can ruin one’s morning
It’s hard for me to do nothing. What is most annoying about life are those moments when you are thwarted from doing something, when you are paralyzed from doing what you know has to be done.
To the 85 and Back Photo Essay
I went to 85 to buy bread. Took the train for one stop to get there; I then walked back to the apartment.
I was trying to use my Apple Books offline. I wanted to use my time going to the bread shop (85!) to get my daily reading requirements done & did. But to my consternation, the app wanted me to download the books that I wanted to read and that I had assumed were downloaded and that I was in the midst of reading. I was annoyed like I was with a local driver doing their usual stupid thing. I asked the AI what was up. It told me I had some settings to change so that my books were always on my phone’s memory. The changes resulted in almost all my books disappearing from the Books app. I had to spend a hour reloading the books from the files apps and my other devices and from archive.org. Who knew!
As I showed here and here, I attended a local football match with my son. We saw Wuxi Wugo FC play Shanxi in the high heat. About 1,000 people attended what my son told me was a division two match. The crowd was very boisterous. Wuxi dominated the game and deserved to win even though the match’s only goal was an own goal. The stadium was old and basic, capacity about 25,000, and its like would never be seen in Canada.
Thanks for all the comments! Not! You bastards! You must all be bots or lurkers! Screw the lot of you!
Clearly, my last two weeks of this stint in China will not ended ideally. No big send off will happen. I will say bye to two people. I am cool with that because if there suddenly was one, it would be like a high school graduation ceremony at my last school: phony and undeserved for most of the participants. I don’t deserve a send off, I deserve to be sent off…
Some one did like my doing Simone Weil quote videos on WeChat Chsnnels. Just my luck that I can’t respond because I got banned from making comments or replying to messages on WeChat Channels.
Did a few things today. I stayed busy.
This blog’s dashboard is going nuts. It says I have had over a million and another half a million all time page views: 500,000 in the last two weeks! It just can’t be.
If I am getting that many views, how about visiting these links and making comment?
You can make a comment like follows: Hey you mountebank! Here is a farging comment! Blankenship! Umlaut!

Stupidity. I should have some sympathy when drivers do stupid things. Yesterday evening, I went to pick up my wife. I drove into the Wanda Plaza basement. She came. She got in the car. We went to the exit. We saw that two cars had driven down the exit ramp and were trying to enter through the exit gates, as a lineup of cars was trying to get out. The two cars blocked two exit gates. Confusion till the two cars turned around. It should have been left at that, but then I went stupid. I decided to chase the cats down and jeeringly honk at them. One of the cars pulled over to the side of the road, and I passed it with horns blazing. I then went straight through tan intersection from the left turn lane. Maybe, I’ll get a ticket, and boy was Jenny mad. She was right to question what I was doing and my attitude. Emotion got a hold of me and I did something stupidly impulsive. Sheepish, I now am,
Canada I’ve been warned is very woke these days.
If I’ve been rightly scolded, I should be happy because it’s just and I need the lesson.
Just extended my Duolingo streak to 1988 days.
I’m biding my time till it’s time to leave. No big farewells.
I worry now when I talk to someone that I’ll have to talk about and I feel like I’m a big bore.
Can I ever be a kindly benefactor?
The dashboard is getting ridiculous. It says my blog has had over 1.4 million page views.
Maybe my time in Canada will be the punishment I deserve for going to China for twenty years. Or, it will be paying for the vacation, I’ve already had,
Still can’t upload photos to this blog
If I had it my way, I’d sit and read in an air-conditioned room all day. I don’t have it my way.
Tomorrow, I’ll be going to a football match will my son. Some local Wuxi team playing. We’ll take the subway to the stadium.
I’m a mover; I’m not a traveler; I’m not a mover & shaker.
What do people hate more? That you don’t share their passionate likes or you don’t share their righteous hatreds?
I put a video on WeChat of a badly parked car being mockingly taking gunfire. Should I have done this? I won’t use the gunfire graphic, that I use in the parking video, on people except myself. I’m thinking of creating a video entitled a report of the assassination of AKIC
Drove to meet a friend in the other part of town. Two local drivers cutting me off made me road outrageous.
