Teaching In China

Hello Everyone,
If you have come to this page then must be at least slightly interested in my exploration and experiences in China. This opportunity has been provided to me, and my fellow participants by the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, if you are interested in learning more please do not hesitate to look at some of the amazing work this organization is doing. I am participating in the NCUSCR's Teacher Exchange Program which has been sending K-12 educators to china since 1996. Please enjoy my PG-13 Chinese exploits.

Setting up in Luoyang

Ni hao,
This post was a bit delayed, I planned on posting it last night, but... well let just say that my new Principal (Mr. Bie) introduced me to some of the local specialties namely Luoyang Bijiu, it didn't kill me, but it sure tried (and I was thoroughly warned by Margot that this would happen).  We had an amazing banquet with some of our new colleagues last night then caped the evening off with our first trip to Carrefour, the French version of Wal-mart.  Below are picture of my home for the next year.
My living room and office
My TV
My Bed and Bedroom... it came with those sheets
My Kitchen; which is actually behind my bedroom
My pantry and Water purifier... The water still smells odd though
My Bathroom and Shower... yes the shower is just a spout in the corner
My toilet; which seems to already be on the fritz...
And last but not least the results of intense 2 hours of shopping...
Zaijian!

  1. Dude, I think your apartment is as good as mine. I can no longer feel superior.

  3. Benny Mac! I already miss you! Your apartment is actually really nice - I don't know what I was expecting, but it's bigger than I thought it would be. We are doing well - start of the school year - you know how that goes. Send me your address so Sophia can color you something to hang on the fridge. Let's set up some skype time before too long. Take care of yourself - we're thinking about you - Nic
