ni hao!
ni hao everyone! my name is brian and i'm on my way to qidong (in southeast jiangsu province) go to teach english for a year. i've just graduated from university and know as much mandarin as a 2 year old. ahh...this is going to be fun...
the whole family is excited for me except grandma...
grandma: brian, china is too communistic!
me: well, you can't spell "communist party" without "party"
grandma: it's too far away
me: it's a small world, after all.
grandma: brian, don't get married while you're over there!
me: i'll try not to, grandma
has anyone here been to qidong before? or better yet: been to the middle school...
xie xie!
