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.

Corned Beef Hash
Hans: You are right. A picture says a thousand words. What a different world you are living in. I'm curious. It is Sunday morning, I just opened up a can of corned beed hash and cracked two eggs for breakfast. Do they have any canned foods or is everything fresh? What is the typical breakfast over there, and when do they customarily eat their meals? Do they have 3 meals a day? We all admire you for your fortitude! David Kirsner

Hans,you are going to be impossible to cook for when you come home,I will have to make 40 dishes,do they have any thing that resembles SAUERBRATEN? Perhaps some sort of pickled beef dishserved with a sweet and sour bok choy.I envy you the unique dishes you are being served.Don't be a finicky eater try everything,you have been blessed with the opportunity of experience. Chef Wayne & Geri.P.S. I give Risa copies of your letters.
