In Yunnan Now

Wow.. I can't believe I found out how to add a new post, everything on this computer is Chinese!!! Well Its been a couple days, but I've now flown to what will be my new home. The weather is much cooler then Beijing, Hong Kong and Xi'an. Okay sure the food is laced with delicious chili peppers, but I haven't felt the digestive effects from it yet. There was this one really spicy crab dish, which I ate and basically changed the way I tasted food for the next hour. Now that was nuts...

We went to the school and taught english for the first day today, there are about 30 teachers fair sized class, knew much less English then I expected which is okay, except for the fact that now I just have to re-adjust all my lesson plans to follow suit otherwise I'll be talking to about 30 yes men. Pretending to understand but not saying a thing. Well it can make me feel like I'm doing a good job. Some of our teachers got to recieve English names today, some of the more unique ones where Study, Cookie, and Cutie, but there was a student in another class whose name was Penguin. That's a lucky kid. I wish I was named Penguin, he's apparently the most popular in his class so he's got what it takes to pull it off.

I've got to keep this short cause I've got a meeting in ten minutes but if you can, mail me some chocolate.. or Harveys! Oh and if you have any idea's for classroom english activities.. Add em to the comments. I have to teach 6 hours a day!

Zai Jian!
