Debbie has started at her position of Program Director of the International Montessori Teachers Institute and I am still looking for an apartment. Right now we are living in the Metropark Lido Hotel in an executive suite which only means that meals and drinks are included. It’s much more money than I would have thought for China but still reasonable by Canadian standards. The staff here work long hard hours to make us feel at home and comfortable.
