Last Meeting - Richard Pollock:
12 months ago, Richard informed us he would be temporarily leaving us. His wife Jocelyn had accepted an English Teaching position in China. It's holiday time over there so they returned to NZ for a few weeks, and escape the high humidity 40 degrees heat over there at present! Snow is common between December and February.
 
They are based in Suzhou, a city of 6-million and 20 minutes from Shanghai by the fast train. They live in an apartment on 28th Floor, which is very modern and westernised. Jocelyn is teaching at an international school, which you can learn about by clicking: HERE.
 
Richard showed us a number of photos and a selected number of these can be viewed HERE. It was a delight to see them both and hear about their year's experiences. They have another year, perhaps two before they return home.

Week's Parting Thought

"The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of think how things may be, to see them as they are." ~ Samuel Johnston - 1786
