Over-nighter
Makes me lonesome for crazy hazy China. I also really miss the great food, although I would pass on the bull penis. Everything else sounds okay but a person has to draw the line somewhere! Will you be coming to Princeton or just Vancouver? Have a wonderful summer guys!

Why on earth would you want to come back here - it will be so boring compared to your life there!! Enjoy your family visit none-the-less! We are headed to Wyoming for a mini reunion of the Great American Horse Race gang. It will be the first time I have ever seen Yellowstone park and Ol' Faithful. I am looking forward to it.

Princeton in China
Steve,, It is wonderful to see these photos and your blog.That was great to see the Huycks and Wongs. Merrilyn will have lots of inspiration for her future arts projects. I am sure Paul will be bubbling over with stories Everytime TV has news of China we think of you two there. And we envy your adventures. I am plugging along on my column and second book. Wish you were here with your expertise. Keep well and happy John

Working English or gigging in Wuhan
The easiest way to get into China, as far as I can see, is to obtain a job as an ESL teacher. Once you are here, there are opportunities to earn a bit of extra money with your music. There are a a few clubs that will pay for gigs and there are audiences of foreigners here that want to see live entertainment. Live foreign music increases the clubs' foreign clientele and provides a place for musicians to perform. It is a win-win situation.

Teaching English or gigging in Wuhan.
Hi! Thank you for the info. best yet. I have hunted around a bit and this is definitely the best. My Concern... I have met a really nice lady, albeit on the net, who lives in Wuhan and I really want to visit with a view to living there. As I have not a lot of money I am wondering if I might supplement this with my music or teaching in some capacity. I have been a vocalist/pianist/organist for a long time. I hesitate to call myself a pianist as I normally only use this for singing. I can also do 1 hour shows with backing tracks. Mostly my act is swing or ballads but I can sing in Italian, Spanish .French and Tagalog. I am beginning to sing Mandarin at the moment. I don't really want to ask my girl-friend too closely because I don't want to appear cheap or maybe stingy. It is a case of necessity. How much do I need to stay there indefinitely/ Very ,very grateful for any help anyone could give me. I can supply tapes or C.ds if anyone interested to listen.

Verrrry nice!
You both look terrific - the new life style is definitely agreeing with you. Obviously not missing Canadian winters!! Although I had a lovely xc-ski today at China Ridge. The weather here has been quite "balmy" at +5C not like the old days of -25C. Wish you both all the best for 2010

Funny!
Looks like a great production, "Old Man"! Too bad you can't pack everyone up and bring them over here and perform on our stage. This month, we've had Kelowna Ballet, Princeton Highland Dancing, African Memeza (singing, drumming and dancing) but no Chinese version of Jack and the Beanstock. It sounds like you and Nancy are really settling and don't see yourselves as visitors much anymore. We are happy for you both. And, congratulations on your license. Have a great summer!
