Home Inn (Wuhan Taibei Second Road)

... cheap and delicious, they're easy to acquire - I don't have to struggle with my broken Chinese or look at a picture-free menu with dozens of items and roll the dice.

Point form:

- One of my grade 4 students started bawling last week when she failed to properly pluralize the word "tooth". This happened during a tic-tac-toe style word game and her mistake cost the girls the game after the boys stole the square. She was absolutely ...

... day holiday. Everyone seems pretty excited, though, so we're assuming that they don't do this all that often. My fear is that this trip will probably resemble the Tour Group Hell that I described a couple of weeks ago. This time, however, we don't have a choice and it appears as though we would be left behind to work if we didn't attend. We'll see what happens.

That's all for now,

Mike & Jill

Back in Wuhan after 7 months and its great to se Erica again. I also have been doing some meeting with her classes to talk about Ali's and My round the world trip. It even more amazing to them then to us as not too many people in China get to travel abroad and they definately would not sell everything they own to do it. Its great spending time with the students as they are so keen and helpful and want to take you round to show ...

... him a brief history about new orleans cooking (holy trinity and all that stuff.)

but the show had to start so tracy, the emcee, introduced me as the american cook. did my thing, forgot the flour for the roux. stalled for a few minutes while they ran to get some. answered a few questions then served the food. the parents ate the whole pot and asked for more. but chinese appliances aren't meant to serve big parties with a single dish. there wasn't ...

... ve travelled as a motly bunch up the Yangste taking in the maginficence of the three gorges, (which by the way in case you were wondering are magnificent), and stopping for excursions along the way. Our first was to the new dam development, which the Chinese are very proud of, world wide conservationists are horrified at, and me... well it's a big lump of concrete aint it? It's meant to be bigger than the Hoover dam, (which I once saw fleetingly), and allegedly is the ...

... bus I arrived feeling a heck of a lot better in Wuhan (Woohoo!) and thankfully managed to get a hard sleeper ticket to Shanghai on a train departing in just a few hours (double Woohoo!). Looking in the vicinity for an Internet Cafe I gave up with no success and ended up just waiting around the train station were a young kid, no older than about 16, was insistent on helping me despite speaking less English than I spoke Mandarin - so bugger all then ...
