After 38 years as a Foreign Language Teacher and Foreign Language Dept. Chair at Coral Gables Sr. H.S., and A.J. Professor of German at the University of Miami, I have left Florida in June of 2006, where my home is in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. I have just signed another year's teaching-contract (my 8th year now) with Taizhou University in the city of Taizhou, located about 3hrs north of Shanghai, in Jiangsu Province, CHINA. I thought it would be informative for others and rewarding for me personally, to log the progress of my efforts from beginning to end, as a Travel and Photo Jo... full info

Hola!
Hey Hans, I know its been awhile. Glad to see that you are still enjoying teaching in Taizhou. I have been trying to reach you. All my emails bounced back. I was planning a trip to Shanghai for xmas, but the chinese embassy refused to grant me a visa. Apparently I lack sufficient visa pages. That or my passport is a bit too raggedy for them. It really has been through hell. Oh well. I'm thinking of going to Taiwan for a masters in either education or environmental studies. I could work on my Mandarin as well. I've quit my job here and am only staying till my replacement can take over. I'm working on getting my doggie the necessary papers to travel home with me. Wushu is the best impulse buy ever! Longest comment ever I know! Anyway, merry xmas Hans! send me your new email address if it has changed.

Hi from Oz!!
Heh Hans, another year almost past, so it seems and another great photo essay. International English- is that a "new" course? Am now on at least a 10 day break and won't know about work for next year until the end of the week. Having a quiet Xmas this year, the first without Mum, just hanging around home & doing some sorting out and culling of some of my accumulated possessions!! Heh, and you got a response from Stef!!! Wow!!! Hope you have a pleasant couple of days off and best wishes for the New Year & WInter/Spring Break. Are you travelling to the States as usual?

I remember this giant flashy christmas tree, stood well into the end of March at the front gate of the Golden Eagle department store. Sales promoting performs was on show with young people dancing enthusistically following loud pop music, and even catholic hymns mixed in between! Soon Christmas again, wishing that all is well.
