Have A List


I don't have a lot to report now, so here is a short list of things I like in China that I don't think I've mentioned:

1) Being a pseudo regular at resturants on the strip outside my apartment.  Its not the best food in the world, but the people are super nice.

2) Walking down the street and having my students run to me excitedly, saying: "Teacher!" and bowing and talking to me for a few minutes.  I've told them to call me Andrew, but I mostly get 'Teacher'...which is kind of growing on me.

3) Going into a new resturant and getting the best seat, normally near a window, because I'm white/foreigner/American.  Something.  Yeah, I know I'm there so I'm display so they can show off that they got an American in their resturant.  I'm not 100% sure if I'm good for business, but I like the nice seats.

4) My god, Chinese children are adorable.

5) Talking to strangers, learning Chinese while I teach English.

6) Juice is crazy delicious here.

7) Everything is so cheap!

8) Hearing inappropriate American music in certain stores and knowing full well, that the owners don't know what the song is actually about.

Oh! Unexpected situation last night.  A Jamacian guy found Carter and I while we were eating, than proceded to try to convert Carter to Christianity.  That was nowhere on my list of things that could happen while I was in China.

Other than that weirdness, things are pretty good,
