Another Difference

Just today, I realized I haven't been hearing people swearing much. The little I have heard is from the Western teachers who have just arrived. I ask Diana if people on the street especially young people, swear. She said no. People do not swear much and if her 12 year old comes home with a swear word he'll get a smack. It has actually been quite nice now that I realize.
The weather is cooler now. On TV they actually said it has become fall because of the temperatures. And yes, I am not sweating to death anymore but it is still summer weather as far as I am concerned - mid to high 20's.
I joined the gym where I live. I am tired of waiting for them to draw names for those 6 memberships here at work. They said they would do it this week but it is not done. I also realized that all of our parents are members there. That could be a problem. Also, my only real choice would be to go swimming now as soon as work is done, which would be fine but then I have to take a cab home. So I would pay anyways. I started swimming again 2 days ago and it felt great. I'm not sure if I mentioned they bus us back and forth to work.
Tomorrow I'm going shopping with a friend of my brother, Paul. She's taking me for cheap shopping and we are going for a massage. It should be a fun day being with someone different than work friends. She has lived with her husband and children in Shanghai for quite a few years and is from Australia.
Well, I don't seem to have anything else to say. It has been an ordinary week.
