I don't have the time to read back through the thread to find the point where people responded to my situation.

Unfortunately I can't fly anywhere as I have to still complete my university work. I can't be granted extensions without signing a piece of paper apparently. Very helpful. So yeah, I have 6,000 words on trademark law to write by Friday. Best get cracking. Fortunately Shanghai can be a pretty cheap place to live. I'm only paying £5.50 a night and the staff speak English and are honest. The woman at the desk accidentally charged me a night longer than she was meant to yesterday, and although she is meant to be kicking us all out then because the hostel is booked up for Shanghai Expo, she is letting me stay rather than refunding me the money.

I'm stressed out as you can imagine, but this is because I am struggling to access the right sources to complete my work here, not because I'm stuck in China. China is an amazing country to be in.
