Work (& Work Out) at the School
* 3rd Floor Snacks – Head to Echo’s office to pick up a snack or
drink to get you through the afternoon. Snickers, M&Ms, Coke and
coffee are some of what’s on offer! For a superior selection, try the
elementary office. Prices range from 2 – 10 RMB. Pay cash into the
honesty box. CHINESE CURRENCY ONLY!
6th Floor Gym:
The gym/weight room is available for staff to use before and after
school, or during your lunch hour. However, it is always locked so you
need to collect the key from behind the door in the PE office (by the
golf range), unlick the door, then return the key BEFORE you workout.
Pop the lock when you leave if no one else is in there.
There are a few treadmills, rowers, a variety of other weight based machines, yoga mats and dumbbells. Enjoy!
Friday Football:
Football, Futbol, Soccer, Le Footy, El kicky the belle’… whatever you
want to call it, we do it here at KCIS! Every Friday we host a footy
staff game at 5pm, or if you’re Dahl: whenever you roll out of the
office. All people, shapes and talents wanted!! Turn that flab to fab
with a good old fashioned kick around Ladies and gents of all skill are
welcome! During the warm majestic Huaqiao winter months we even play
inside!
If you want any more information feel free to contact: Mike McKevett on WeChat.
The Pool:
Staff swim times: 10:50 – 11:50 AM and 5 – 6 PM, weekdays. On
Friday’s you can head in from about 4 PM. The pool has strict,
non-negotiable policies regarding swimwear – one pieces for women and
speedos for men (knee length is okay). Swim caps are a must!! Goggles
are highly recommended. Peeing in the pool is definitely unacceptable,
but the first graders do use that pool, too…
If running is your jam…
The school track is another great workout option when the air is
fresh and the sun’s out! It’s a standard 400m so for 1km that’s 2.5
laps, for 1 mile that’s 4 laps. Try springing the straight and jogging
the curves!
What can you offer us?
Throughout 2015 – 2016, we were lucky to have Chris and Kelly offer
regular, free fitness classes. (Sumba and Krav Maga). Unfortunately,
they have headed home to new jobs! We also had a knitting club form, a
regular poker group, a Mojito club and weekly social soccer games
(Friday @5). If you think you could offer something more to the staff at
KCIS, don’t be afraid to step forward and throw out a line! You never
how many bites you might get.

CN ~ Huaqiao ~ Line 11
https://thetravelbugbite.com/2016/12/15/all-about-line-eleven-guest-post/
Huaqiao: Stop 1. Where we reside. If you get on here you usually get a seat!
Anting: An old Germanized area. Several German pubs and a mall with many food options. Also, there is an old town that makes for a lovely hour walk. This is the beginning of when you start to see some more foreigners.
Shanghai Circuit: This is where Formula 1 is held, a cold event to check out usually held right after winter when the weather is starting to become nice!
Nanxiang: Okay, I know another mall; however, this mall has a CityShop, which is a lovely foreign food store. There are several places to eat different than the Anting mall and if you walk about 5 km down the road there is a Carrefour. Carrefour is a nicer food store that has many items! There is also an old church like structure that could make for a nice walking trip.
Jiangsu Road: Now, you are in the middle of SHA! Get off here to exchange to Line 2 to enter deeper into the city.
Xujiahui: This tends to be extremely crowded. It is the exchange for Line 1. To be honest, avoid this stop because it is always busy!
Oriental Sports Center: Towards the end of the Line you will find the Sports Center. Sometimes there are big events; but mostly, it is just a nice area to have a walk to take a picnic.
Disney: Disney is at the end of Line 11. So, if you ever need to tell someone where you are living just say, “Do you know where Disney is on Line 11 – the complete opposite way!”
The metro is an interesting place and you never know what you might see! Take some time for a nice metro ride and embrace local living!
With the rapid development of the metro system Exploreshanghai.com is not completely up to date, but it is an excellent APP to download or use online. It allows you to check the first and last trains to and from each station which is super handy as the metro doesn’t run particularly late. There is also a route planning function that will help you get from A to B the fastest way and will give you an approximate travel time and an exact cost. The Shanghai metro has 364 stations! It’s one big beast… to find out more try shmetro.com
Important Bus Routes:
228: Zhaofeng Road Metro Station – Dongcheng Avenue
Significant Stops: Metro Station – E Mart – Colorful Apartments – School – MixTown
101: Zhaofeng Road Metro Station – Kunshan South Railway Station
Significant Stops: Metro Stations including Zhaofeng, Guangming and Huaqiao – Huaqiao town center – Decathalon sports shop – Kunshan South Long Distance Bus Station – Kunshan South Railway Station.
“The Blue Bus” will get you into Shanghai for 5RMB in 45-60 minutes. It starts around the corner from the Hanting Hotel and stops outside E-mart before barreling along the highway into Shanghai where its final destination is Zhongshan Park Metro. Usually you need a sought after “21 Century” community card to get on, but the card scanners will often allow you to subtly slide a fiver into their hand. It’s a comfy and convenient way to get into the city! You might also be lucky to get a card with your apartment!
