Me and my days in Melbourne Hi, guys. I'm Yin from Shanghai China, u can call me James if u like. I've spent almost 3 years in Melbourne and enjoyed 2-years study in Monash. It's a lovely city; not because of its great natural environment, casual living style, great food variety; but the enthusiasm from the people. But I have to addmit that a big black tarantula scared the shit out of me once which I found in the bath room. Currently I'm looking 4 a language partner to get my English back on edge again. Actually I marely have it prectised since I went back about a yeat ago. So, hope u don't mind of that. The last 6 months in Mel I joined the Rhema Family Church and made loads of friends there although I'm not a Christian. We hanging out every weekend and took few trip to Geelong for BBQ and Port Phillip Bay for fishing. And I had a really good time with my last language partner - Damain, he is a college English teacher for RMIT with great experence in TESOL and master in Chinese and few other languages as well. We met in Melbourne language center, and he was me ITLES teacher. But soon we became a really good friend. Usually We'll have the exchange at Cofee Bar and his place. Actually, his place is just 10 mins drive from the beach which he rented. Sometimes, we would have the exchange while we jogging. Of course we called few friends to join us and enjoyed the afternoon tea after that. And he introduced his beauty Chinese wife Xiao Jian and his lovely dog Bailey to me. BTW, Baily is a black male training guide dog with half Labrador and half Golden retriever but failed to pass the test due to he is incredibly energetic and a little bit crazy about biting anything as long as can get his teeth on. Of causee he is well-trained already but not at the standard of a proper guide dog and definitely not for hours of works. Well, I just love the energetic and crazy Baily. What a sweet memory in Mel.
