Coffee
I tend to drink my coffee black, but I found Vietnamese coffee to be addicting!

Your photos are beautiful. After going to Vietnam do you like Laos coffee or Vietnamese coffee better?

Like grandfather, like granddaughter
When Kris' grandpa Sonsin was about the age she is now, he lived and worked in southeast Asia (Singapore and some places in India). This was from around 1927 - 1942. He rode elephants through the jungle too when traveling.

Laughing out loud
These were really great. We're with Albert - we want more!! Was that really you in all the clothes yesterday. Remember what you told us last summer - that after two years in southern China you're used to the warm tropics and not a Minnesota girl anymore.

Different countries
I found Germany to be very interesting because I lived and taught there in 1969-70. Would a large map of the continents help them? Our grandson in 4th grade is studying continents. Just a thought. I found it all to be very interesting. Thank you fot sharing. I love reading your blog.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, I sure enjoyed the invitations you posted. I enlarged some so I could read them. Some were quite interesting and creative. You sure got invited to alot of parties. I'm so glad those cookies were still good. Next time let me know and I will add more additives!! As I recall you asked to take some cookies with you, which I supposed would be eaten sooner then later. I will be at work soon and I think it will be rather slow. The quilt store is closed the next 2 days and then I work on Sunday. We have 2 sales for after Christmas so I might just be busy on that Sunday but only from 12 to 4. Yesterday I made a cranberry salad which never set but is great to eat as a fruit soup. Also made candied almonds which I will take to a friend's on Christmas day when we go there for a late dinner. You do look warm in your picture with all your clothes on!! Thank you for your card - we have it in front of the tv an looks very nice with 2 small Santas. Do you have several weeks off now at the end of the term? What are you going to do? Have a special time wherever, Love, Aunt Caroline and Uncle Bill

Chinese universities
First, China isn't a third world country, it's a developing country and considered second world. Some parts of China are advanced, and some are catching up, including changes in norms and values. There is no respect for copyright law. Second, it's a dog eat dog world here and any edge is an edge; students usually aren't taught how to do research papers or what plagerism is. Students everywhere, not just China, will cheat if they think they can get away with it.

the truth is
both your college and elyse's are third world colleges in China, so you just can't expect much from them. they just come in to get a degree and find a job, that's it.

We really enjoyed this, but the dream of the young man in Shenzhen to become an astronaut is still our favorite.

Dreams
No matter where we go in the world children's dreams are so big and then as we get older they seem to change along the way. Reality must set in somewhere along the way. Pete & I experienced the same thing with Oral Exams at our school how students would answer questions before we even asked them, say the exact thing as a prior student or not be able to say why or how. Business English students wanting to be Doctors after college. REALLY?

If the current semester ends around Christmas time, how long is the break between semesters, including Chinese New Year?

This was actually from a year ago--I found it buried -- it had never published for some reason! But I liked the story enough to publish it late. And the medicine worked great!

Canker Sore
Has the medicine worked? I love to hear that on your 3rd year you still use body language to get things done. I am the queen of body language as learning Chinese just hasn't been my thing. I get discouraged easily when every word I say they repeat and repeat correcting me.

tea
The tea was really good, actually. But I recommend getting a pot and not a cup--the pot will filter our the flowers, but a cup the float all over the top. Since they're small flowers, the literally cover the entire surface. Have you tried the longjing tea yet? That was excellent and local for you.

Yangshou
How was the tea from the osmanthus tree flower? Everyone in Hangzhou is talking about this tea and that it is in full bloom here so we will have a tea party soon with our Chinese English teachers. Bummer about the cave tour.

It's a Dry Heat!
I hope you enjoyed Arizona. We have had a hot muggy monsoon season and our heat has extended way into the fall (this is unusual). I am originally from Minnesota. The sunsets in Arizona are a to die for, a romantics dream! We miss the seasons of Minnesota but, we do enjoy the Arizona winters. I hope you have an opportunity to come back during our winter months. Jarl kubat Arizona Retirement Communities

Enjoy your new bike
Have fun with your bike, it makes life much easier when getting around. I was also back to sweating in the classroom today.

Airplane photo
Kris, your plane photo cracks me up and reminds me of Asia. Nowhere have I ever seen so many people take their photo in front of the plane as in Asia.
