China

An acquaintance was teaching English in China after having taught before in South Korea where she actually left a magnet. I just don't recall those details. This time around there were some health issues so I don't think her stay was the best. Below are some comments from her emails:

The students are delightful and exhausted due to a rigorous schedule.  Some still email me and I still hear from one in Korea. I have a photo album to remember them as a gift. I feel for the students, 10 hour days in school. I was unpacking and one of the teachers in the dorm admired your magnet and I gave it to her.

I am sick again, and in a country that you need a prescription for aspirin. For some reason there is some anti-Obama sentiment with the kids. I do not talk to the adults about it.
