So I had a rigorous two day of teaching. The day started with the yearly Flag Ceremony, where Michael, Skyla, and I were asked share a few words with our whole staff and the entire student body (I demonstrated my crap-tastic Chinese). I taught 2 Junior 2 classes and 2 Junior 1's (8th and 7th grade respectively), I was amazed at the skill level of some of my students. I have students who have already been to the States and some who have been studying English since they were 3. Now, I was warned by many people (including Margot) that it will be hot in our classrooms... man did I underestimate that heat... I didn't get the air all sorted out until after my second wardrobe change (the advantages of living 5 minutes form my classroom).

I don't think the people of China could understand the amount of sweat that could come out of a large Irish man such as your self. Keep your clothes on so they don't mistake you for a Yeti or whatever the Chinese equivalent may be. -Mike
