Holy freaking night Tiffany, that is hilarious! I don\'t know how you held it together for so long! American Christmas misses you but it\'s not nearly as entertaining as your China Christmas, that is for darn sure.

Bad Drivers
I know you have told me that you take your life in your hands trying to cross a street, but it's ridiculous that even the immortal Chinese drivers are equally bad. :) I mean, did he even give the building a chance to jump out of his way?

It was bigotry
I worked at a center. We had students from age 5 to age 60. Some teenaged and adult students made race-related discriminatory comments directly to my Indian coworker. I would never go on a rant about racist 9 year olds.

here's my thought about the bigotry
Hi Tiffany, Well..I happened to read this section about your anger for Chinese students' attitude towards the Inidan teacher. i guess it's not about the discrimination, but that these kids just want to learn the most native English, esp. the American English. However, people from India generally have Indian accents or something. These kids, they just started learning a new language, so the native accent is very important. Not all these students come from very wealthy families, and yet their parents work VERY hard trying to afford their children to be able to study English in private training center with foreign teachers. it's not like everyone has this opportunity, even in Shenzhen, a metropolis in southern China. So they just wanna get what they paid for. on the other hand, i'd say most Chinese are seldom thinking about politics or races or things like this. you have to first live a descent life, i mean, economically, then you'll have extra time to think about else, like,"i like white people better than a brown one". needless to say they're just 8-9 year old children. so i guess you might be thinking too much. take it easy :-) perhaps you should, for yourself, for at least one time ask those kids why they wouldn't want to take her class. that would help. - Amanda. your reader.

the dish you mentioned
Hi Tiffany, it's so much fun reading your blog in Shenzhen, your writing is so good. The cuisine you mentioned with papaya is called 木瓜炖雪蛤, which is 雪蛤(Xue Ha) steamed in a 木瓜壳(papaya shell). it has nothing to do with frog. Xue Ha is seafood. Most people in China believe that papaya can boost your female hormone level so it's somehow good for women. i'm not sure about it though :-) - Amanda. reader from Shenzhen

Pics
I love the countryside picture. I think I'll use that one when I'm stressed to just relax my mind. It looks so peaceful!

A good rule of thumb
Read the blog entry before making comments. Please refer to paragraph four of this blog entry. 'Snakes on a Train' was a combination joke on my friend Michelle and on the awful movie 'Snakes on a Plane.' Unlike all my other typos, this one was intentional.

the internet
My friends and I found the information about the fan painting class online. Then at our hostel, The Outside Inn, they had more information about it and set it up for us.
