It's not enough that you couldn't find it on Google. Afterall, it's a big country and there are many schools that just can't afford to have technology as a resource.

miguelito Flying Chinese Lanterns. Did anyone else see these?

During the Lantern Festival a couple of Sundays ago in Loudi, they were selling for 5 yuan apiece. They were primarily red, of course, but yellow and blue lanterns were seen hovering overhead too. One of my students was working the square and gave me a discount of 4 yuan. What a ganga, when I...

You live in Beijing and I asked why you traveled south.
