Interesting happenings

The past few days have been very enjoyable here. We met a few of our colleagues/bosses in the foreign language department. They continued the Chinese people's streak of being wonderful hosts and very accommodating. I will be teaching eight different classes, all oral English, and all to sophomores. That starts on Monday, with a few of the classes starting the following week. The other night I took a motorcyle cab ride for the first time in my life. David was on the motorcycle is well. It was an adventure to say the least. We were able to witness Chinese traffic weaving first hand! I am also having a great time noticing and analyzing all the English language t-shirts which the students wear. Saw a girl with "Honey girl" at the top of the shirt, and "...with mustard" at the bottom. You decide. Also had a great time last night as one of the foreign teachers at another school, Bobby a Canadian, brought out about 15 girls (and 3 guys) from one of his classes. It was a wonderful cross-cultural experience, with lots of note passing at the restaurant when their spoken Chinese failed them. Well, I am off to dinner at Steve's house, one of the Chinese professors who works in the English department.
