Hanging out with Students

The other concern I had about them visiting SIAS, like I said before, was that I would bore them to death by having them meet lots of people they didn't know. Well thankfully that didn't happen :-) We had just enough meals to let them meet my friends - both students and teachers. Here are some pictures from Monday morning with Wang Peng (Frank), Li Peng Peng (Esther), Wang Xia Yi (Abby) and Tian Hua (Nait).

Hmm...come to think of it, maybe it's not such a bright idea to smash the top of a dragon's head and thus drive the teeth further into the arm...whoops, sorry Joseph ;-)Monday night we had supper with Courtney (another foreign teacher), George (one of her students who also happens to be my friend. Neither is pictured here), Yan Li (Lily) and Hu Hua Teng (Jim). After supper, Courtney and George left and the rest of us walked around SIAS for about an hour, talking. Hua Teng was nice enough to treat us to some ice cream! We also ate with several other students who are good friends of mine, but I don't have any pictures from those times. Anyways, it was a neat couple of days :-) More later...but be sure to check out Joseph's and Ruth's blog...they already have some great posts up.
