Philip, Poland, English Teacher at Zhaoqing University
I come from a country the capital of which has around one-and-half-a-milion population. I come from a city the population of which is around five hundred thousand – much less than Zhaoqing – and it is the fifth biggest city in Poland. But when you compare Zhaoqing to a nearby Guangzhou, it is definitely not big. So, how should we call it? It is definitely too big to be called a town, yet, according to Chinese sense of measure, it is small. Maybe we should make an exception and call it a small city?
When I came here three months ago, the air was really hot and damp. For the first few days the sky felt so heavy that you had an impression that in a minute a torrential rain was going to fall. It did not happen, though, at that time. Just a dense air that made you sweat and difficult to breathe. Nevertheless, despite the humid and dense air of tropical summer, I can already call my teaching contract in China one of the most refreshing experiences in my life.
