I was just listening to some country Music and remeniscing about childhood Memouries. Anybody reading grow up in the Country, or stayed/lived there for a Tyme? My second best Memouries from Childhood, second only to living on India just down the Ditchdump from Jacob, are the Memouries I have of going to Craighead County, Arkansas out at 1683 County Road 204... That long stretch of(once) dirt

I truly love Beijing, it's such a wonderful City. I will miss it's Parks, People, Restaurants, Malls, and Culture. I WON'T miss their Accent, which I've unfourtunately acquired since I've been here... haha. They throw unnecessary R's in any Chance they get! 花 means Flower and it's pronounce like "hwah", but the Beijingers say, "hwarr". Just like 那边 is "nahbyann", but they say, "nahbyarr". 这边

So, my Friend Dorian has left China with a bad Taste in his Mouth. When he was first placed by VIP in Nanchang, the School sent him back because he is black. He had to pay with his own Money to get back to Beijing Y300 to be exact. So he talked to our Manager about it and he said that they would reimberse him for it. So he reminded him on Monday about it because he was in Beijing for the past

It's been awhile since I've updated this. This have gotten pretty sour and, to say the least, I'm going to Inner Mongolia for about 10 Days and then flying to the States(DFW), if all goes accourding to Plan. I've made a few new Friends since I've been here in Beijing. There's Judy, she's a pretty nice young Girl from Shandong Province. There's John, he's from the U.K. He's a really funny Guy and

You're just doing your Job, I guess... The People I'm really tryin ta fight are the ones that destroy so much, and they hurt so many Lives.

yes...A few Minutes ago, I went to get some Lunch. As I was walking back to the Office to eat my Noodles, I passed a Building and it suddenly caught Fire. Within the about 5 Minutes it took me to walk past, the Building had been completely consumed by the Fire and transformed into Ash and Smoke...

So, to begin yesterday Morning, I felt a little ill... That was all... So, I didn't feel like having Breakfast or Lunch or anything. So, when I got to the Office, I just wanted to go back Home and go to sleep. So, after a little while, I went back Home and laid down. I slept ALL DAY! Then, about 22:00(10 pm) I woke up, because I had thrown up on myself. :(So, of Course, I got up, showered and

To many, this would be an Insult. I think it matches China's Culture very well. The simplistic Nature and Beauty of China amases me everyday, and I always know how lucky I am to have this Chance to be here. Chinese Culture is not all about making Money, like America. Maybe it would be developed if it was, but I think, they are just fine how it is. I have seen this many Tymes, everytyme I

Not anymore. I had a Date yesterday and it went very well... At least if you put aside the Fact that there was GLASS in my Lunch, a Bug in my Milk, and it is freezing cold outside, it went very well. Actually, despite all of those Things, I had a really great Tyme and so did this Person. For Confidentiality's Sake, this Person, will be referred to as this Person or other anonymous Terms when I

So, I'm at the Office and my Friend just said goodbye. She works here and it's the Middle of the Day, so naturally I'm a bit confused. I asked her where she is going, and she said, "Home." So, I asked why, and she said, just cheque your E-mail Inbox. So, the Company laid her off because of the Economy Crisis... :( She was the only Person working here who I had Fun with.

So, I'm in Beijing now! I arrived yesterday about 14:30.As I rushed to wake up early on Wednesday Morning so that I could go and say goodbye to my Friends at Xinxing Primary School, I had a Phonecall telling me that the only Bus to Haikou is at 8:00! So, I had to rush to get ready and leave for Haikou without saying any goodbyes to anyone! Miss Zhou and Mr. Pan went with me to the Bus Station.

After arriving in Chongpo, I had Lunch with Miss Lu's Family. After Lunch I was talking with her Family and it turns out they have 2 Houses in Chongpo. They only use one of them to live in. Both Houses have Pig Stalls(Of Course, who's House doesn't?). But the Pig Stalls at the old House are larger, so they keep their Pigs there and they House just kind of sits there. Nobody lives in it.

Ok, so People like to say that it pays to know the right People, right? Well, this Weekend prooved to me, that that is indeed true! It pays for expensive Dinners. :)I received a Phonecall early Friday Afternoon around 13:00. Miss Lu had invited me to go to Lunch with her and her Friend from Haikou. So, we went to Lunch at the original Huangliu Old Duck Restaurant where Miss Lu's Brother was

As a Teacher, I think it's great to get involved in the Student's Lives and to have Fun with them and think on their Level. I am fresh out of Highschool, so I KNOW how Highschoolers think. Many Teachers that I've had called me a Cheater many Tymes because I was too advanced for the Classes I was taking. I'm not bragging or saying I'm smarter than my Peers, I think the Education System in

I am in many Ways, just like my Father. I liked my Father. But he fell short of deserving the Title, "Father" in many Ways. He wasn't such a bad Guy when I was younger. The Fact that he left his Children and his Wife just pisses me of inside so badly. Especially in a Tyme when we were struggling so bad.But, here are some of the good Memories of my Father:Everyone thought that he was a total

I just thought I'd give out some helpful Tips if you are thinking about visiting China. First off, if you're a Guy and you are shy and you don't want anyone to see what your Parents gave you, you should probably not pee at a public Restroom the entire Tyme you are in China.. lol. The most helpful Thing I think I can say for Starters is, BUY A CHINESE DICTIONARY BEFORE YOU COME TO CHINA. People

Chinese MTV is awesome!!! They actually play Music. I just wanted to throw that in here somewhere... MTV stands for Music Television for those of you who don't know(including American MTV, I don't think they know). But yeah, they have this Segment called Global Hits, and they play Music mainly from America, but from other Parts of the World as well. Most of the chinese Songs are about Love...

She is kind of crazy, but man I would be more crazy if Months went by without being able to talk to anyone.

I went with Miss Wendy, Mr. Pan, their Son, and Yangwei. There were lots of Junks parked up on the Shore.

So, since being in China, I've learned many many MANY new Things. I find(and have always found) the chinese Culture very interesting. I thought I knew about chinese Culture befoure I came here. I mean you Guys know how often I went to the Asia World Market on Legacy Dr. Oh how wrong I was. There were a lot of Things when I came here that surprised me! So many Things are very different here,

So, I was just walking back from Class, and as you know, in my Village, Chickens just walk around the Courtyards and eat. They always come back to their Homes at Night, so it's nothing to really worry about. But, in China, they paint the Bases of the Trees white with some Sort of Nutrient based Paint. Apparently, to them it looks beautiful, but I think it looks terrible. Aneehyoo, I saw one

Haha, the People in Hainan right now think it's like freezing cold outside... I think it's really funny. It's like still a bit warm/hot outside right now, and they are like freezing their Balls off... hahaI was just walking with my Friend to get some 燒烤(Shaokao). Shaokao is this Stuff that's like at these little Stands along the Roadside. You can choose from many Things, they are all on

I was just researching some Linguistics last Night, cos as many of you know, I'm really into Linguistics and I really would like to be a Linguist when I get out of University. I discovered that someone had come up with the Idea a while back(actually it's been a Series of ongoing Ideas throughout the History of the English Language and most other Languages as well) to reform the English Alphabet/

Monday, 10.NOV.2008 13:11I just wanna give you Guys an Idea on how cheap Life in China can be for someone from America who save up for Retirement here, it really is a great Idea, and it is definitely where I'm coming when I retire...Keep in Mind though, that these are the Prices in 黄流(Huangliu), if you live somewhere like 三亚(Sanya), 北京(Beijing), 上海(Shanghai), 琼海(Qionghai), 西安(Xi'an), 哈尔滨(Harbin)

寫 "愛" 在她的胳膊(xiě "ài" zài tāde gēbo) in Chinese means "To write 'LOVE' on her Arms"...Anyhow, the Campaigne is coming up shortly on the 13th(My Birthday). I'd like to get a lot of People to participate. All you have to do is write "LOVE" on your Arm. Because I live in China, I'm going to write "愛(LOVE)" on mine...Although, the Suicide Rate in China isn't as high as it is in America, I'm sure

Sunday, 9.NOV.2008 18:25Today, some Teachers(Ms. 周[Zhou], Ms. 李[Li], Ms. 林[Lin], and Stephen) and I went to 尖峰岭(Jianfeng Mountain). We climbed all the Way to the Top. It was pretty amasing, there were Trees there over 2000 Years old! So I got inside of some of them and took some Photos, but unfourtunately it is not a Digicam and there are like no Scanners in China... lol But I'm going to see

When I came to China, I honestly had no Idea why I came here... hahaShortly after I arrived in Huangliu, my Roommate and good Friend, Stephen Osei-Nyampong took me to Huangliu Christian Church. The Attendance was pretty low, cos nobody knew about the Church, nor did they Caer!Stephen and I are the
