Geography Lesson
The other day I was doing a unit on countries and nationalities with my Korean students. We’re using a British book about Pierre from France, Carlos from Spain, Ivan from Russia and so forth. I realized it wasn’t too appropriate … Continue reading
Dinner In China (again)
Since I complained so much about Chinese dinners when I first arrived, I think I’ll tell you about a fun Yantai dinner. A few nights ago, Dave, Zorro and I went out in search of Japanese food. Our coworker Ron … Continue reading
