The Freshmen have completed Military Training at TTC
Hello Sue, Glad to hear that your trip is progressing so well. Austria is a beautiful country, and Vienna certainly on of the world's great cities. All is well here in Taizhou, and many of our days have become a little cooler and the sky seems much more blue than I have remembered. The Freshmen are now all part of the TTC family, having completed their 2 week military training. Most are now going home for the Oct. 1st National holiday. I am enjoying my enlarged apartment. I think of you often and wish you continued fun and safe travel. Thanks for the photo memories of this past year. Hans

Hi, Sue! wooooooooow, didn't know you spent so many years in China. Must be so strange to leave now. Wish your next phase will be even more interesting and fulfilling! P.S. Great pictures!
