various things

 Man chopping fresh noodles from a block of noodle dough.  

 My next door neighbor / fellow PiA-er, Lily, eating said noodles.  

 Me sneaking a candid shot in my Chinese class.  Back to the ol' 中文.  CFAU offers 4 Chinese classes everyday Mon-Fri (from 8:00-11:40 AM) which I can audit for a small fee.  I really like this convenient way to 'turn on' my Chinese in the morning and usually dip in on 1 or 2 classes.  Added cool points for the diversity in the class room: my classmates are from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, France, Italy, Botswana, Egypt, Tanzania, plus 1 other American.

 I got a 'blind massage' (a lot of blind people in Asia give massages professionally) for 13USD/hour!

Stewwwww,

Good work on the massage! I've had one, ever, and I want more more more.

International classes are the absolute best. A lot of my classmates are from around the world, traveling here to learn how to teach before returning to their native countries to teach EFL.

Will you be in Beijing over the summer? Looking real hard at a program to teach at Tsinghua University over the summer. How close are you to that university? GSU partners with them and they'd prob pay for everything..

Obviously I should be writing this in email. TMI
love
