Two Peters
One Saturday we held the Staff Sports Day. The Chinese teachers are fierce competitors. Some of the Candians are good athletes but can't hold a candle to the Chinese for passion about these events.

Comment on Two Peters
The WilsonsInChina blog charts the course of our three year adventure in China between 2008 and 2011. Dianne was a school administrator in Canada and heard about this opportunity just after retiring.
