I have greatly enjoyed Cultural Corner with Luke each day. He provides both Americans and Chinese teachers with insight on the cultural differences bewteen the two communities. I have learned so much already from this opportunity. These lessons often lead into new conversations at lunch. I was very excited to do because I was complimented by my lunchmates at how I use chopsticks so well. :-)
It's hard to believe that tomorrow is the end of week one. I feel like we have only been here a few days, but I have some friendships that have felt much longer already. I am looking forward to tomorrow and the weekend when we pick up the rest of the American team. The Chinese teachers are anxious to meet them all, too.
On a side note, I was able to talk with my family this evening. They are doing so well, and Chase told me he wants to be a doctor (he's 3). My wife is sending a picture of Chase because he has many band-aids covering his body. Apparently, he is self-medicating. ;-)- I thought my new Chinese friends would like to hear the update on my little guy (and maybe old American friends, too).
