因为在神没有一件事是不可能的

And I'm doing very well at that.

Sorry it took me so long to post anything. The Great Firewall of China is a tricky thing to deal with.

An overview of the week:

• My plane from HongKong was late. I got in at 1:30am. Bummer.


• I lived in the school's apartment for a few days while I got cleared to move into my own.


• My apartment is awesome. It's about 15 feet high with a loft over my kitchen and bathroom. If I can every get my computer online I'll post pictures.


• I've already had my share of adventures including:
  
  • Eating chicken heart, head, feet. Cow stomach. Crab (shell and all). I might add that none of these things tasted bad.
  
  
  • Dealing with Chinese traffic. I love it, you can do anything. Yellow lines mean nothing. Bikes and people go diagonally accross intersections withint even looking. It's all the things I've wanted to do in the States!
  
  
  • Having some kid try to throw a brick through our school window...(!)
  
  
  • Having people not trust me as a teacher because of my age, but being convinced to let me teach their kids because I'm white.
  
  
  • ...and many more
  
  
• As you might have gathered the school is going through a bit of a hard time, but I'm confident that everything will work out. Every person on staff now is incredibly nice. My boss and the office girls are very helpful. The other teacher is probably the nicest person I have ever had the honor of knowing. And he's this 50 year old biker from Montana that came here with his wife to study Tai Chi! How great is that!


• I don't know a single like-minded person, but I don't think that I have even been closer to my dad then ever before. I love how he works everything out.
  
• I get up at 5am every morning so I can run by 6. And by then it is already over 80 degrees. But I usually jog by the ocean and swim for a bit as well. It's very nice.


• For some reason people get married early in the morning. And living by the beach I hear a ot of weddings. I hear them because they set off massive fireworks at 6 or 6:30am. Not little things. I'm talking about fireworks shooting 10 stories high and setting off car alarms. At 6:30am...


• I'm teaching more Koreans than Chinese.


• Every day brings a surprise!
