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.

Hi Hans
Was a guest speaker at the Australian Sister Conference last week in Toowoomba city. Met someone there who had a close relation with taizhou, and when I mentioned you her face lit up and she said she knew you. IM trying to think who it was. Mayor and I are flying to BJ on Saturday night, im in China for 3 weeks on business but not close to Taizhou this time. Hope all is well. Hope to see the two students, Jody and Apple from the competition, and look forward to see Liz in Guilin. Take care. Cheers kevin

Amazing photos!
You continue to have the most wonderful adventure in China, and we appreciate the photos of places we may never visit. I hope your students are well and your health is good. Tai is a tall and strong young man now, a good representative of his hometown of Taizhou. Wish you another wonderful year in Taizhou!

Beautiful!
Herr Schneider, It brings me great joy to see that you're doing so well even though you are far, far away from us here in Miami. You are a great raconteur and I thoroughly enjoy reading your stories and browsing through your photos. Take care and I'm sending you lots of love! Your former student, Ingrid L. Robledo

Hi from Oz!
Heh Hans, great to see the blogs are back in action! However, what has happened to Travelblog? Ugghhh! All those horrid ads have wrecked the look of the page. Disappointing. Photos are fabulous though, as usual. Brings back memories of my time in Qinghai a few summers ago, where I also spent some time travelling with our darling Stef! Good luck with the new teaching term, and give my regards to John. Hugs Sue

Oh, you're kissing a Rudolph! Unfortunately, he's chained and may never will escape his ill-fate. Never mind, the rape-flowers are splendid, a common sight of spring years ago. The lake is perhaps the cleanest in the country.
