Enjoyed our meetings and colleagues. Went to dinner at a typical Guangdong/Canton restaurant. Menu was very creative. Plenty of exotics - baby pigeon, sting ray, fish guts, beetles, snakes, chicken feet. Was a bit naseous, but likely because of jet lag.

... doesn't speak English nor does the lead of the sim-card mafia, but he jumps in the front seat after I negotiate 200 yuan for the ride into the city using the hotel's chinese character address. Guess he just made commission on me. 30 minutes to GZ city center

... Después de esquivar a varios taxistas ilegales y tomar uno fiable me pongo rumbo al centro de la ciudad. Con el taxista intercambié mis primeras palabras en chino, el cual lo tengo olvidadísimo y me doy cuenta lo importante que es. En esta ocasión intentaré aprender algo más de mandarín.

Sabang is a small village on the South Chinese Sea and we settled into a cottage near ...

... We had to participate in evening activities called English Corner. Each teacher was assigned a different age group. We went to a grassy area on campus and were supposed to talk to the students. The Chinese teachers thought we had prepared something, but we were told we were just to answer questions. My group of students was very large, so it was difficult to talk so that everyone could hear. We finally ...

... plaster if needed (mine had two holes in it) then (after it dries) you put a pipe in it like this... *I hand drew the process*... then fill it with plaster. Then let it harden then remove the outside bandages. So you end up with a rough replica of the stump. With this replica you need to apply and shave off certain areas for the socket to not be painful for Papa. And that is what we did. Papa started smoking during casting. He offered us ...
