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.

WHERE'RE MY PANTS!!!

Longmen Grottoes boast over 2,400 Buddha caves carved over 8 Dynasties

A victim of the Cultural Revolution, students came a broke the heads off of some of the many buddhas

Some caves are larger than others, bu tall have (or had) a buddha in it

It really is amazing to see these hand made caves

Now that is one serene ...

These 4 cm Buddhas are only a few of the 4000 in this 1 cave

Shaolin... the birthplace of David Carradine (as I'm sure you all already knew) ... was awesome! This dude threw a pin through a piece of 1/8 inch glass... eventually.

  1. Sorry, the last comment makes me look mental... apparently my video didn't post. I will see if I can fix it.

    Hey Ben - hope all is well. Mike and I both commented the other day that we miss us some Ben! Hope all is well; all is crazy here...good, but crazy. I'm on break from school for a month, so now I only have one job to worry about. Mike is in Vegas this weekend, but without me, so no worries about people drunk in a shoe store. Take care of yourself. Talk to you soon hopefully - Nicci
