Most importantly, to top off the wonderful change of scenery, we found ourselves in the midst of a photography exhibit in the center square of Bijie for... wait for it... baby photos. Now, this may sound silly, but I happen to love babies. My besties from home can vouch for me on my love for them - and it just so happens I found a true friend in Scott, because, low and behold, he happens to share the same love of funny baby photos as I do. Some one knew we were coming because this baby photo exhibit was quite possibly the best part of our visit, and gave us a few ideas for our Halloween costumes. Double bonus.
As far as teaching and such is going - the students are alert and inquisitive. They ask questions and have become comfortable enough to speak up in class. For those that have taught in China before, this is a huge improvement and most importantly a triumph in the classroom for any teacher. My Dean has told me the students speak well of me and enjoy coming to class, which of course is always a wonderful compliment. I'll be doing class photos next week so you all can see the aspiring English speakers.
Attached are a few photos from the trip - and most importantly, the best baby photo from the lot!
Sorry for the delay in updates - hope all is well in the States or wherever you may be!
