| 1st June 2009 Ed Martin | - From: # 115 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (The Dragon Boat Festival of Qintong, Jiangsu) I was student of Herr Schnieder 25 years ago at Revere High School in Massachusetts. He is a great teacher and I only wish my children could have had the chance to be taught by Hans. |

| 5th May 2009 June | - From: # 115 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (The Dragon Boat Festival of Qintong, Jiangsu) This is a lavish banquette and the happiness is truly infectious. Looking at your bound-foot shaped zongzi makes me just hungry! Surprisingly, there're so many stories around the Duanwu festival. Whereas the legend of the Whitesnack-lady has been always romantic, the roaming ghosts in the court are pretty scarry! Above all, the soul of the patriot and pioneer poet Qu Yuan must be resting in great satisfaction, as he's been adored so loyally by all people cross the country. |

| 1st May 2009 anonymous | - From: # 115 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (The Dragon Boat Festival of Qintong, Jiangsu) Your historical knowledge is amazing. The Chinese General is Yue Fei. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Fei By the way, Chinese dragon is different from western dragon. The Chinese dragon has no wings but can fly. The Chinese dragon is luck/good animal while the western dragon is an evil in westerners' eyes. Also Han Chinese also call them the offspring of the dragon(long). |

| 29th April 2009 Joy | Miss you - From: #114 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Re-posting of Photos lost in TravelBlog #113 ) I meet and talk with foreigner, but i still miss you--my dear teacher |
| 25th April 2009 Frank | beautiful photos - From: #114 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Re-posting of Photos lost in TravelBlog #113 ) These photos are so beautiful !you really did a good job. Keep on taking the moment of daily life ,my friend. I look forward to your new and wonderful pictures! |
| 24th April 2009 anonymous | - From: #114 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Re-posting of Photos lost in TravelBlog #113 ) Yes, in the 113th entry, many pictures appeared days ago, were replaced by pitchblack boxes, fortunately, still with comments. Generally, many people today are still deeply rooted in their own culture, like myself, never got bored by watching The Monkey King, The Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Cabin etc. Ich Konnte mein Lachen nicht halten, wenn ich das lezte Build sah: alle von uns haben irgendwann in der Vergangenheit wild gemacht!

| 24th April 2009 anonymous | - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) Many beautiful sceneries in parks and public places were created in the past decade. Locals are very satisfied while walking and induldging in the natural beauty, but, the elderly generation will never forget the old town of a grey and dull face! June |
| 24th April 2009 anonymous | - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) Spring flowers are now blooming everywhere and beautiful. China has a saying "No place where fragrant grass doesn't exist even to the end of the world," but the blossoms in your photos are just very special, to which I'm so deeply attached. The flamboyant colours brought the fresh scent to my very nose. and stirred up lots feelings! Thank you so much for such hard effort to bring others this kind of everlasting joy! The white limewash painted on the trunks was to protect the trees from pests and insects (Schaedlinger), it's said. And the Bright Festival belongs to one of the 24 solar terms, according to the agricultural tradition in the far east. June |

| 19th April 2009 Cynthia | - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) Oh and what happened to your kitties? |
| 19th April 2009 Cynthia | Hey. - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) I am so happy to hear you are doing well and happy still in China. Those minor set backs are minor but at least you have the experience of actually being there. It IS a shame how the economy and jobs went down the drain. I hope it gets better soon... |
| 17th April 2009 Shane | lol - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) Beautiful pics! I think you must have a great sping here in China! As summer is around the corner, I am hoping you can keep on digging the beauty out and enjoying yourself. Also, the experiences you gained in your travels are precious and will never be forgotten in your lifetime. :-) |
| 17th April 2009 Sue | Spring memories! - From: #113 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Pure Brightness Festival/"Shangfen" and Spring 2009 in Taizhou) ) Hi Hans, good to see you squeeze a few moments away from your demanding schedule to keep us informed of your goings on in Taizhou. I do miss the beauty of Spring in China, but not the cold weather! Moved Mum down the Gold Coast this week, finished my course and survived baby-sitting my friends 2 donkeys! Not bad for 5 or 6 day achievement! Ha! Suexx |

I just want to let you know, dear Hans, that I've been enjoying reading your past journals all the time, despite there hasn't been any new entry for quite a while. June |
| 1st March 2009 frankie du berry | lantern festival 2009 - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Many thanks for sharing. You are true witness of modern China. Here in EU we complain when we have to wait for 15mn to buy a ticket!!! But we are not free any more to sell whatever we like wherever we like... |
| 19th February 2009 Jason | Hello from gables class of 94 - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Herr Schneider, Someone mentioned your name on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, and we have all been wondering; what's going on with our favorite teacher from Gables? It is so wonderful to see you are very doing well. |
| 14th February 2009 anonymous | - From: #27 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (Visit to Mr. Hu Jintao's school in Taizhou) wheat can be threshed much easier than rice. You wouldn't find any rice straw stalks lying on road by Sept to Nov, when rice is harvested. When no shreshing-machine was available, peasants had to smash their crops hard against rows of log-benches. That used to be one of the seasonal activities(compulsory) for the school children, to help and "learn through labour". Keep studying in the evenings (I mean at scool) is a very old tradition. Not only that: after leaving their school in the late evening, students of higher grades must also keep doing at night often up to 1am and must get up before 6am! On the long term, this system is indeed affecting the average bodysize of the generation. Many young students don't get enough sleep on a daily basis. Hard. |
| 13th February 2009 anonymous | - From: #28 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (Student and parents "sweat" the examinations) The looking of today's Chinese and Japanese youngsters may be similar, but, the difference can be told by the faster speed of the movements and reactions of the Chinese. May be, the Chinese young people are facing greater pressures and more challenges of life. |
| 2nd February 2009 joe | ??? - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) i can't contact with you by e-mail address you gave me! |
| 31st January 2009 June | - From: #39 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China (Beijing to Lhasa, Tibet "opening" Train-Ceremony on China-TV) I agree that train is the most comfortble mean for travel. The 7-days journey took me from Beijing to the Hauptbahnhof of Berlin didn't feel hard at all. All passengers enjoyed the great sceneries, despite many of them had to live on a daily diet of instant noodles. |
| 30th January 2009 June | - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Hope the disabled children will face better future. |
| 30th January 2009 anonymous | - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) The lantern festival starts from the 13th and ends on the 18th January of the lunar calendar. Shapes of rabbit, lotus flower or phonix are most common. Embracing the cold and dragging their lanterns lit with candles in the streets at night is a great joy for the children. The unforgetable pictures were those made in our own hands when we were so poor to buy a single one! They were so beautiful and unique. The sticky rice balls was a yearly once-only treat, only we could patiently wait on the queue for the rice to be pounded in a stone mortar. Life has changed so much for better now, thanks for Lord! |
| 23rd January 2009 Leelane | Moving Pics - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Look at these angels who live in a worid without any sounds! They are so cute! I long for making a simple conversation with them, coz i acquired Chinese finger language. |
| 21st January 2009 Great photos and kindness. | - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Hi Hans, in every enty, you post a lot of Great photos and show your Great Kindness. Yes, the world would be much better if everyone in the world shows his/her love or kindness to the others. |
| 20th January 2009 Yolander | - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) It was a great experience in Taizhou in China, right? I am glad to share your pictures and special experiences. Would you stay in Taizhou to enjoy the Spring Festival? |
| 19th January 2009 maria mustelier | wow - From: #112 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Festival ) Hey Schneider I hadnt written in a while but everytime i see your blog and your pictures it makes me feel so happy I met you. You really are making a wonderful thing of your time over there...seems like a lot more worth than being in a high school classroom in miami. I think it's wonderful how you still keep this blog updated with so many pictures and stories for it. I wish you all the best this 2009 and you look great by the way Hugs and kisses Maria Mustelier (your student from....a couple of years ago) |

| 16th January 2009 June | - From: #111 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( HARBIN: Part 2, World of Ice & Snow, Stalin Park, Buddhist Temples and Confucian Temple!) According to memory, there were students' exchange programmes kept going on since the 50s until the early 60s. Photos of beautiful blond Udssr students were even displayed in the windows at the Taizhou Middleschool. How about that? But, people were later told that government of the Udssr had become either terribly corrupted or betrayal against communism: difficult to comprehent! |
| 16th January 2009 June | - From: #111 Teaching at Taizhou Teachers College, China ( HARBIN: Part 2, World of Ice & Snow, Stalin Park, Buddhist Temples and Confucian Temple!) An amazing display of ice sculpture show! What takes my breath away is the creators' passion of devotion and the long-lasting solid frieze of that unique environment. What a wonderful dazzling world! |
