about Mr. Lee Thank you for your thoughts, Rhys. I think we are speaking about the same Arthur Lee, the Foreign Affair Officer of TNC in Jiangsu. I'm not sure if you have spoken with him, but he is simply the best. I look forward to working with him, and no doubt there will be many surprises in store for me. When I was there this past summer, every day was a new adventure, and it was due to his many efforts on my behalf. Where I might have hesitated before my visit, meeting Arthur became one of the catalyst for accepting the year at his college. It sounds like you are already in China, and was wondering about your status there. Are you at another college or U. in Jiangsu Province? Would love to hear about some of your experiences if you are already teaching. Great thanks for any of suggestions or commentary. Who knows, we might even have the chance to meet one day. Lots of sunshine from Miami and Happy New Year, Hans

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
