One of my first lectures will be to give a speech about the american holiday of Thanksgiving to students. Because I am far afield from the US, it is assumed that because we won't have alot to do on the holiday, I won't mind giving a 40 minute lecture about Thanksgiving. I actually am not really adverse to doing it because I have had a rather significant amount of downtime while waiting for the students to get through their mid terms.
I got to China on November 4. It is now November 16th. During that time I have done alot of planning to teach, but no actual teaching. Ergo, I have alot of pent up energy that I would like to burn off actually working for a change.
I also have firmed up plans for an all you can eat turkey feast at a local restaurant here in Wuhan. For about US 25.00-30.00 I will be able to gorge on Turkey and various thanksgiving delicacies. I am bringing along my "chinese handler".
My Chinese handler probably deserves his own post. He is a very nice and mature young man. He is my appointed helper and overseer. I joke that he is a handler. He is fluent in German, and has a very wierd sort of german accent when speaking chinese. He could do the voice of a perfect bond villain. He took me out to dinner where I had some great local food. I think I will work on getting him his own post.
