But since I don't have any money for nonsense like upgrading my cellphone, we are going to stick with what we've got. Some more snapshots from my life here. A little girl getting her shoe shined, one of my friends from Hangzhou who is due to have a baby in mid May, heavy fog covering the mountain (I kid you not, my first thought was that they had taken away the mountain in the middle of the night), and preparing for the school's 60th anniversary.
The 60th anniversary is coming soon, and we are pulling out all the stops. The English department thought it would be a good idea to sacrifice all my dignity by having me do a stand-up comedy routine (xiang sheng) with another teacher from the department. We will be marching into infamy on Monday night. Perhaps it is better than the Edelweiss song I sang last year, but if so, it is not by much. Assuming I survive, I will report back.
