    Here’s a picture of the guys’ room with laundry from 4 of my teammates. The clothes didn’t dry too well that way so they all smell kinda mildewy…yuck. I’ve been doing a few articles of clothing each day, so mine are fine. I’m taking the Sabbath off so no laundry today for me. I got…

    As requested, a picture of the hotel bathroom. Why are we staying at a hotel? Well, the school where we’re at is a commuter school with few dorm facilities, so we’re here at the hotel across the street. No squatty pottie, so I’m quite fortunate. I have to handwash all my clothes, so you see…

    My days have been filled with lessons, lesson planning, eating, hand-washing my clothes, and shopping for food and other necessities. I haven’t been able to get online until recently when my teammate discovered a wireless connection near the window…haha! If I had time, I would have gone to what my students call “net bars” where…

    It’s actually a cultural exchange program, but I guess they call it an English Camp. This was taken on Thursday, July 13, 2006 at the Confucius Temple. Can you tell the American students from the Chinese students?

    I’m back here in HK again.  The heat and humidity is a bit nostalgic.  I’ve been able to email at the terminals in the library, but haven’t been able to upload pictures just yet.  Will try using my teammate’s laptop once we get into CN.  Apparently, we’re supposed to have internet access in our hotel…

    Congrats to Jordan, Anna, Jennifer Long, Gordo, “Pat”, Calvin Dai Dai, and Steph. It’s weird to think I’ve taught some of them for 4 years now. Hope they learned something from me and that they’ll remember the One who’s made each of them special. I’m proud of them. Also, congrats to Cindy and CC, who…

    That’s my cousin’s kid.  They call him “Big Head Boy” in Chinese.  I don’t see him very often.  But we had dinner together for Steph’s birthday. Happy Birthdays to Mackenzie, Stephanie, and Gordon.

    Look what I get to take for the next 8 days. My left arm also hurts from my 2nd and final Hep A shot. The people at the travel clinic also asked if I wanted pills just in case I get traveler’s diarrhea. Yeah, whatever. My cantonese stomach can handle anything. On a side note,…

    …but not too busy for a picture! Yes, another picture of Mackenzie. I fiddled with sepia toning on Gimp. The original had a lot of vibrant colors, but I think it was too much. My eyes didn’t know where to look. This one seems better, where it really draws your attention to her eyes.  Her…

    Mackenzie’s first time in the ocean. Taken at Stinson Beach on Memorial Day. This picture reminds me of those pictures in those clothing catalogs. Hmm, I gotta work on that overexposure.

    For Joey: the World Cup blog.  This is one of the few sports that I never really learned how to play.  Maybe it’s for the better because I can’t do too many things with my feet at one time.

    Haven’t had this in a long time. No utensils. You use this spongy,sour flat bread to scoop up the meat and vegetables. We had a hard time with the chicken since it was pretty tough. My fingers turned a bit yellow from the sauce. You’re not supposed to eat with your left hand because that’s…

    So I’m leaving at the end of June and won’t be back until the first week of August. My cube-mate and I share a calendar for our schedules. I’ll be gone for the entire month of July. Look what he put up: +- Check out this guy’s demonstration of the evolution of dance. Good times.

    The SFist found Trading Spaces here in the Sunset at N and 43rd. Maybe it should be called Trading Closets. I take it I’ll never see an extreme home makeover here.
