After 38 years as a Foreign Language Teacher and Foreign Language Dept. Chair at Coral Gables Sr. H.S., and A.J. Professor of German at the University of Miami, I have left Florida in June of 2006, where my home is in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. I have just signed another year's teaching-contract (my 8th year now) with Taizhou University in the city of Taizhou, located about 3hrs north of Shanghai, in Jiangsu Province, CHINA. I thought it would be informative for others and rewarding for me personally, to log the progress of my efforts from beginning to end, as a Travel and Photo Jo... full info

Spring memories!
Hi Hans, good to see you squeeze a few moments away from your demanding schedule to keep us informed of your goings on in Taizhou. I do miss the beauty of Spring in China, but not the cold weather! Moved Mum down the Gold Coast this week, finished my course and survived baby-sitting my friends 2 donkeys! Not bad for 5 or 6 day achievement! Ha! Suexx

Beautiful pics! I think you must have a great sping here in China! As summer is around the corner, I am hoping you can keep on digging the beauty out and enjoying yourself. Also, the experiences you gained in your travels are precious and will never be forgotten in your lifetime. :-)

Hey.
I am so happy to hear you are doing well and happy still in China. Those minor set backs are minor but at least you have the experience of actually being there. It IS a shame how the economy and jobs went down the drain. I hope it gets better soon...

Spring flowers are now blooming everywhere and beautiful. China has a saying "No place where fragrant grass doesn't exist even to the end of the world," but the blossoms in your photos are just very special, to which I'm so deeply attached. The flamboyant colours brought the fresh scent to my very nose. and stirred up lots feelings! Thank you so much for such hard effort to bring others this kind of everlasting joy! The white limewash painted on the trunks was to protect the trees from pests and insects (Schaedlinger), it's said. And the Bright Festival belongs to one of the 24 solar terms, according to the agricultural tradition in the far east. June

Many beautiful sceneries in parks and public places were created in the past decade. Locals are very satisfied while walking and induldging in the natural beauty, but, the elderly generation will never forget the old town of a grey and dull face! June
