April was such a busy month, but we squeezed in a visit to neighboring Dainan at the invitation of Dean Fan. Dainan is her home town and is a model city in this part of the country. A number of our Chinese colleagues joined us on this windy Sunday.

We did have a wonderful spring-semester 2008..
Thanks for your wonderful photos of our last semester together. Those who are hiding at home, in front of their TV, don't really know what they are missing in this wonderful city of Taizhou. So glad we had these two years together, and your students often ask about you. The photos will be lasting memories of special moments, and words are not enough to describe the emotions of the moments. I wish you continued joy on your great adventure, and please stay safe. Thinking of you often, and thanks for being such a good friend, always, Hans

End of a chapter!
I can't believe it's been two years since you first asked all those questions!! I'm ecstatic you had such a wonderful experience and are left with a lot of wonderful memories. I told you the students would be great!! Still a lot of years left under the belt yet, Sue... the world's a big place.
