Wondering and Wandering

So I am finally here in Dalian, China.
Okay, so it took 25 plus days, visits to Beijing and Mongolia ( oh yeah, and a brief visit to the Chinese embassy in UlaanBator so that I could get back into China), loads of pictures and a lot of hilarious happenings, but really.... I am here to work!

Went out to see the building and the teacher housing. The construction is zooming along. I think that crews might be working 24/7 to get us into the buildings in just a few short weeks! Beautiful setting and just a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to a mountain to hike.

There are 5 teachers and the director here now. The picture is the crowd at the school building site. The picture includes (standing) David, the driver; Mr. Woo, the school sponsor;Curtis, middle school teacher; Brian, the director;Evan, ESL teacher; Mr. Philip, friend of Mr. Woo; Leslie , 4/5 teacher and down in front are Becky, 2/3 teacher and me. Later, we are going out to dinner with Mr. Woo and Mr. Philip. It will be a banquet to celebrate the latest arrivals. Think we do this everytime someone new arrives. Keep 'em comin'!!!!
