1. Andrew Wallis’s
China Notebook and Insomniac
Cure
A brief outline of my time teaching
and travelling in China
2006

2. Yong Xing Middle School
Teachers
From the photo you
can see, what most
of you had already
suspected, that I
was employed to
pretty up the place.
This is actually my
audition for Chinese
Idol at a Karaoke
Bar

3. Yong Xing Middle School
Students
I thought the students
were trying to show
me affection until
the hands went
around my throat.
I suspect some of my
students weren’t to
happy with that
lesson.

4. Yong Xing Middle School - My
class
With the population
crisis in China,
crowding has
become a bit of a
problem.
These aren’t even
students, this is my
living room.

5. Cruising Down the Yangzte
Here is me with my
fellow travellers. Bill &
Jan from Oz, and
teachers to boot, and
Fayed from Canada.
Even though we
promised not to sing
anymore they made
us disembark.

6. The Three Gorges Dam Project
Here I am looking a
little disappointed. I
thought the Three
Gorges were three
people who, like me,
ate way too much
food.

7. Leshan - Place of many large
Buddhas
You have to love a
place that build
statues to people
who also love there
beer and like to
dodge the salads.
I am starting to believe
in reincarnation.

8. The Pandas of Chengdu
The plight of the
Panda was more
disturbing than I
realised. As you can
see their love of
alcohol is destroying
their future. And their
use of profanity also
took me by surprise.
Tut tut!!

9. Pingyao - Primary School
Students
Here are some of the
oompah loompahs I
have employed at
my new Chocolate
Factory.

10. Xian - Natural Springs of the
Concubines After having my face slapped
on numerous occasions
and being branded a
pervert. I quickly realised
that concubines no longer
lived here and that those
women were merely fellow
tourists. Now you tell me!!!

11. Terracotta Warriors - Xian
As China is famous for
its pottery I thought
whilst I was in China I
would give pottery a
go.
Here are a few of my
earlier attempts!

12. The Great Wall - Beijing
Although historians for
some time believed
that the wall was built
to defend against
marauders. I am now
a firm believer in
the new theory that the
wall was is in fact built
to keep the rabbits out.

13. Temple Gate - Beijing
Here is my new place I
bought in China. I am
standing with the Real
Estate guy who
assures me he can
also sell me a great
disused stone wall and
10 000 6ft terracotta
gnomes from Xian. I am
becoming quite the
savvy business man.

14. The Bund - Shanghai
Here I am looking
seductive and very
sweaty (380
). Ok girls
calm yourselves down.
If I recall I was
pondering what Freud
would say about the
cityscape of Shanghai.
