One more week till I host the opening ceremony for the big development project in eastern Zhengzhou for Barry, a Vancouver business man here in Zhengzhou. Maybe it's going to be a one-time thing....then again, maybe it'll be something more. Anyways, I'm doing it in Chinese, so it's cool.

Long day teaching today, but it was alright; Zhang Tuan hung around the office with me for much of it, and inbetween classes we went shopping and ate.

My legs are weary (yes, not sore, weary). I need to lie down and read for a bit now; I miss reading lots of English books.

It just came to my mind the period of time when I first came to China and I was reading Don Quixote....for a lot of my life I can locate a specific period by what book I was reading at the time, and that period was definitely a Don Quixote period.

These days it's Dictionary period.
