The Lion, The Witch, and The… German Fighter Pilot?
Stick and I picked up the Narnia movie from Gua Ye (now that I know her name, I should probably stop calling her DVD Lady) the other day. Neither of us had seen it, and I was hoping to use … Continue reading

Six Pomegranate Seeds
It’s odd to see ads for new movies, and know that we’ll be buying them as cheap DVDs in China. It’s even weirder to think of all the other things I’ll miss. I’m sad that I’ll be emailing congratulations for … Continue reading

Tragically Unhip
Most days, I don’t feel like an adult. I think that’s because I play games all day. As the teacher, it’s even more important to spit out my gum before class, and I have to remember to confiscate cards instead … Continue reading

I can’t watch this!
When Stick and I were in Qingdao, we stopped at a tiny DVD store, mostly so he could read the Chinglish. After a few months in Yantai, I’m usually so excited to see an English sentence, that I can over … Continue reading

The Anti-China
My new boss, “Will,” is the anti-China. I don’t mean his dislikes our host country, but he takes responsibility in a land where no one knows anything about that and no one knows when someone who does know will be … Continue reading
