We will be finishing up the term this week and will then enjoy a break until the middle of February. It's great teaching at a university! We had not intended to do anything exciting. The Spring Festival time is very very busy for traveling because that's the one time each year that everyone goes home. Spending Chinese New Year with one's family is very important. But imagine the whole country moving around at the same time! Last year, because of the storm, many people didn't make it home. It was big news around the world. I remember watching CNN in Mexico and heard the sad stories. One student recently told me that he hadn't seen his father for 2 years because of the storm:(
Well, I'm happy to say that we will be spending Chinese New Year with our family. Yup, thanks to Sam (our lifeline here in China), we got great deals so we will be heading home for just over 3 weeks in the middle of January. See you all soon! J xoxo
