Thank you Thank you Hans, for your wonderful blog!! I have read many entries and greatly enjoyed it. Thank you especially for the pictures of your beautiful home in China. It helped easy the mind of this mom/wife who is moving. It is silly to worry about such things but I am so thankful for the pictures of the apartments. I am excited to start a new journey in Taizhou. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up a blog to keep a record of our time there as well.
Hello Hans! From Miami! Wonderful to see you are doing well in China. I did not know how to contact you except to Google your name since I remembered you retired a couple years after I left Coral Gables High School. I graduated from a school in New York instead and went on to continue studying journalism and marketing/advertising. I just wanted to let you know... if you get this message... it was a pleasure having you as my professor and I remember greatly your wonderful stories we had in the small trailer classroom you used to teach me in! I remember you telling me about when you were a young child you had an orange and banana peel as your Christmas present and you enjoyed even the skin of the fruit.... (I just read an article about it - click this... https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/dont-forget-to-eat-the-peel-91371162018.html
Anyways... If you get this and are ever in Miami please I would love to take you out to a lovely restaurant for a dinner sometime and hear more stories - not Asian food though. lol. I hope you are having a good time over there and if you ever make it back to USA - please let me know. You can reach me at mpuyanic@gmail.com. Cheers!
We will miss you forever ! Mr Hans I am your student.I want to express my thanks ,you are a good teacher. I am surprised that you were so cute after seeing your young photos.I have kept the presents you gave me at Christmas because this was my first time to get a present at Christmas.Thank you very much!Please response .
I remember this giant flashy christmas tree, stood well into the end of March at the front gate of the Golden Eagle department store. Sales promoting performs was on show with young people dancing enthusistically following loud pop music, and even catholic hymns mixed in between! Soon Christmas again, wishing that all is well.
great!! I teach in Virginia. I taught 1summer each in Zhengzhou and Hefei. I will retire after the 2013_14 year. My wife's family live in Nanjing. Could you give me a contact person at Taizhou Normal as I would like to return to China.

It's depressing to see the people gone through such stress to buy their dream homes. Now, homeowners can relax when realising how fortunate they made the decision to buy: housing price sky rocketed many folds since 2007. Anyone left behind must keep struggling until his target achieved, and then, sit back to enjoy Suzhou's beauty.
One evening in the mid-80s, me and my colleagues sat in a restaurant after a day's working trip to Suzhou, enjoying a few local dishes. On the dinner table, a course of a sweet-saure fish tastes surprisingly gorgeous, not very sweet, nor bitingly soure, packed with the finest flavour of the Guiyu, a delicacy caught hours earlier from the vast lake next to the windows and carefully cooked by a local Suzhou chef. Since then, not any such fish I tried could match that one, unforgetably charm as the old Suzhou, and gentle tastes reminding me of the soft mannered Suzhou people.
Terracotta Warriors I know this was a while back that you wrote this article but I have to say - it is one of the most interesting one that I have read. Have you written a book about this subject?
Appreciation I want to thank you for your blog on China. My son will be teaching in Ningbo,after recently leaving Taizhou. I visited him there over this past Christmas. I had no idea what to expect, until I viewed your blog. Again, thank you very much. I had a wonderful time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TONIGHT IS CHRISTMAS EVE , YOU MUST BE VERY HAPPY TONIGHT , LIKE THE SPRING FESTIVAL , CHRISTMAS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FESTIVAL IN YOUR HOMETOWN , MANY KISS AND LOVE TO YOU , MY DEAR HANS , WISH SHARE THE ROMANTIC TIME WITH YOU . MERRY CHRISTMAS .
During the time when food was scarce, a sliced wedge of mooncake brought great joy for children who were constantly in hunger. Anyway, the beautiful sky lit up by the bright moon was for every being on earth to enjoy, and the cool breeze swept away all the heat following a hot summer. You never forget that.
Hello from Vero Beach Hans, We wanted to respond to your blogs long ago , did not know how. Cindy is with us for Thanksgiving, she showed us. I cannot type and don't like to. Our love to you,
always , Ed And Marie
Great Post We are currently living and teaching English in Yangzhou. Jiangsu is such an underrated province! Thanks for writing a post about it, there's not much on the web about Yangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi or Jiangsu in general.
Safe Travels.

I really enjoyed this travelblog,especially the symbolism for the "round" moon cakes and the 8 hour trip to the top-the picture where you are mopping your brow. I need time to read all the blog entries
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
