Update time - we're off to Beijing tomorrow for a few days - including a day's hiking on the Great Wall and another day at the Forbidden Palace - very excited. Details and pictures to follow next week.
This week we went to the Shanghai Music Festival - a huge rock and pop music open air music festival - 4 stages and loads of bands - many international ones. Had a good time. We also went to a new area of Shanghai with some friends from Evan's work - sat outside in the balmy evening weather eating pizza and drinking beer - was really like being back in Davis or Sacramento in California - weird. It was in a posh/modern area, so very California feeling - we both felt a bit homesick.
Work is going fine - both got through our supervisor teaching observations successfully - makes you a bit nervous but all went well. Andy has been working on developing an improv class in English!!! Starts in a couple of weeks ... there's many a folk who'd say he has no business doing the jokes and that - what with not being very funny. But maybe his humor will go down better with non-English speakers .... Also has to watch his tall stories as the rumor went around at his school that he had actually been in a band at the music festival because of some off the cuff remarks he made ...!!!
Anyway will fill you all in on Beijing details next week.
Bye for now.
