Wie Gehts! Herr Schneider! I am happy to see that you are enjoying yourself in China. Your entries are very interesting and insightful! I have and still learn so much from you. Reading through your journal brings back so many nice memories of high school.
Well, I just wanted to say that you are a huge inspiration to me. Aside from the German, you taught me much about life and of other perspectives of the world. Your teaching of Hesse's Siddhartha, among other things, reinforced my German and taught me much about the meaning and obstacles of life.
I just wanted to let you know that you are SUPER-FANTASTISCH and that im doing quite well here in Miami. Im attending UM (I don’t like UM much) and am working on starting my own publication down in the beach. I have also been throwing numerous events throughout Miami (Fashion Shows, etc.).
Well hope to hear from you soon! I will be commenting frequently so make sure to post often ha-ha.
Big Hug,
Luis E. Pinol

Making Friends Hans, except for the two [smart] ladies on the right, it seems that the guys are proposing a toast with [orange juice?] Please tell me what kind of good German doesn't have at least a stein of beer, if not a good german white wine!
Corned Beef Hash Hans:
You are right. A picture says a thousand words. What a different world you are living in. I'm curious. It is Sunday morning, I just opened up a can of corned beed hash and cracked two eggs for breakfast. Do they have any canned foods or is everything fresh? What is the typical breakfast over there, and when do they customarily eat their meals? Do they have 3 meals a day? We all admire you for your fortitude!

Wow!
Schneider it is so amazing and the exotic meals must be tempting for you i assume hahahaha. Is that the school in the back of Ms. Sue?
I am guessing you probably did not want to try the frog legs!
Wow!! Schneider i hope you have a great time over there.
I miss you soo much!!
missing you :P Dear Mr. Schneider,
Sounds like you are having fun over there in China. I'm glad you are finding the experience everything you wanted it to be. I am so jealous i actually plan on going to China probably after college. Say hi to the fruit vendor guy for me ;) . Ps, that examination sounds like one they have in Italy where if you dont pass it when you are like 14 or 15 you can't go on in school. Seems like these two very unlike culture have some similarities. Keep writing about your experiences, they are fascinating to read and we get see the world (or at least china) through your eyes.
That wheat thing is really cool. It's definitely something I've never heard of ^__^ I think I'd shoot myself if my life depended on an exam...
Make sure to take a gagillion pictures, especially of yourself! I think we would all appreciate it! What time would be good to call????
=) I'm glad to know that you’re staying in a very luxurious room lol and that you’re safe. I'm sure you put a picture of me up in your wall! =] have a great time, Peace.
I'm happy for you I'm so happy you are having a great time! i love your blog too much...you write so eloquently, thank you for making every sentence so entertaining. I miss you Schneider!!love MARU
wow the test sounds like the sat but harder and more demanding...and everyone complains here about it...i hope the students do well...
as for the pictures...hmm i wonder what the fruit guy is soo happy about when YOU pass by=D?!!!
i meant to ask....do you buy fruit off of him every morning?!
Gan bei? Good to hear that everything is going smoothly.
Have you been subjected to a Chinese 'gan bei war' yet? Masses of over the top drinking and silliness?
Man, I am going to miss this country - I guess it is the cyclical nature of the beast - as you arrive and experience all the craziness, I am preparing to leave and note everything that I will miss.
Hallo hey schneider... that learning environment sounds like a dream over here. we think we're so advanced but we've regressed in so many ways. we miss you like hell and hope to see those pictures soon. love you!
THE BEST TEACHER I must say Herr. Schneider this is the best blog that I've read so far. I amazed by the fact that made my experince, with this particular blog so unbelievably realistic. Keep up the excellent work old-timer, see you real soon
Surprised? Hello there Schneider....
Bet you didn't expect to hear from me...huh? Well I'm glad you got to China all fine and dandy. I miss you terribly and it pains me to read these travel blogs... Although written very eloquently. I was just checking in so i hope you have a great time and i hope you find the chinese version of richard there...
Oh i thought i'd let you know that liora is doing fine
Have fun Schneider and be safe...
Richard

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
