Got the Call!…
Well I finally got the call from the foreign language department.
It was from the teaching assistant, we have an appointment for tomorrow along with
the department head.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and I was a bit puzzled about the working on Sunday thing (would think gov’t institution get weekends off), After bumping into my contact once again (was suprised to see him working on Saturday) he told me how in order for them to get 7 days off for the holiday, they have to work the weekend before it…so in essence it seems they really only get 3 days off?)
The reception
for the National Holiday was ok.
The Mayor was there with some of his staff doing the whole thank you foreign investors/business people blah blah blah….there was some traditional folk song & Beijing Opera performances during the reception.
The food was ok…guess I must’ve been spoiled by my previous workplaces receptions 
Got my course material & schedule… »

Well my site is still largely under construction - my photos section is still under reorganization and I still haven’t made a page for the main site (http://bobchu.com) Pass on my hellos to the Cats, Dave n’ Nick & the neighbors :-D… the wind has been awesome here….a whopping 4 kph rotating changing direction every hour

Ok, so I am all caught up on all your new pictures and your blog. Love it !! As I mentioned to you on the phone, I will be putting some of your pictures on our website as our “Man on the Inside”. David says hi. The cats say hi. David went kiteboarding today at the wind was 25 mph from the east. He went out on the boat with Nick. Nick says hi.
