My placement is at the 3rd Middle School of the Yucai School Group in Shenzhen’s Nanshan District! It’s one of the blue dots in the south portion of the map.

There was of course [...] Just woke up. Must shove last things into suitcases and then drag those away. Will tour the Forbidden City with the large group today, then jump into a provided shower and then tango with the Beijing Train Station. They say it’s a pretty crazy place.

Anyway, the acrobatic show last night was, well, that. I was going to post a few things that it made me think [...] I completely forgot that it was the weekend! Because the teacher-training course we’re taking is “intensive” or some such, we mostly go every day from 8-5 sitting on one side of a class (in front or behind the podium). Tonight we’re all going to go see some acrobatic show. More on that later…I have to go [...] |
