Things We Have Learned in China

Chopsticks, even though we use them for everything they still are not easy to use.

Babies do not wear diapers.

Air Conditioning is the best thing in the world.

Only having 144 students in the school is a blessing and burden.

Ants come from plants that you buy in the store.

Beilun belly comes at least every two weeks.

It's easier to buy dinner than it is to make it.

There is no such thing as personal space.

Yup the language is HARD.

People drive like they walk, and they swim like they drive.

If they don't honk worry.

Thank goodness for beer.

Thank goodness for the pizza joint down the street.

Being rained on beats the hell out of sweating.

Pollution brings a whole new meaning to breathing.

Don't drink the milk.

The Howard Johnson's in Ningbo would bring any 5 star hotel to shame. SERIOUSLY!

The five English speaking channels we have ROCK!

Have you learned all your students' names yet?

Kirsten and Doug said...

Ummm...no Doug knows a lot of the middle school names but I know Elementary, High School but not a lot of the High School. It's funny which classes you remember and which ones just slip through your mind.

Kirsten, you crack me up. Your list of things you learned is great; I needed that laugh. I miss you, and I hope all is well.
