Every day in China is an Adventure: November 2007
http://wendyinchina07.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Wednesday, November 28, 2007. I know this is going to sound weird. Sometimes I just have these moments, like last Friday when I went to the LaoShe Teahouse to watch Peking Opera and other performances, where I just sat in complete awe, almost child-like, thinking about how absolutely wonderful China is. And I have moments where I keep repeating to myself, "Being Chinese is so freaking cool! I cannot believe that it's the end of No...

Every day in China is an Adventure: December 2007
http://wendyinchina07.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Tuesday, December 25, 2007. Beijing is a little bizarre at times. After dinner, Brandy and I went to this bar called the People's Bus Bar, which was pretty much a trailer in a parking lot converted to a bar. They had 10 kuai (= $1.35 USD) giant mugs of draft beer and the dj was spinning an awesome mix of reggaeton and hip-hop, my fave. At 11pm, someone brought a 3 year old in a BAR! It was absolutely crazy. I wandered around a fan...

Every day in China is an Adventure: Less than a month until the Olympics...
http://wendyinchina07.blogspot.com/2008/07/less-than-month-until-olympics.html
Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Sunday, July 13, 2008. Less than a month until the Olympics. And security is TIGHT. Having lived in Beijing for the past 10 months (and for 4 months back in 2005 while I was studying abroad), I've been tracking the changes this city has been undergoing in preparation for the Olympics. What I really want to talk about is security. Among other ridiculous stories I've heard about increased security measures for the Olympics, my boss ...

Every day in China is an Adventure: February 2008

Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Wendy Meets Distant Family in Southern China- Thoughts, Part 1: Gender Roles. I just got back from one of the strangest familial interactions of this entire trip (possibly. But it's tough competition since there have been some pretty strange family interactions in the past few weeks). I am lucky and privileged, and sometimes I need to remind myself that. Incoherent Chinese T-Shirt Sightings. To be human...

Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. CAUTION: This will be the cutest thing you will ever see. This video actually has nothing to do with China, but it is wayy too cute. And I am celebrating the return of youtube in China! So enjoy. P.S. The baby is my niece Lily. Sunday, October 28, 2007. And there is A LOT to update on (because, as my cheesy blog title suggests, every day in China really is. Let's see what I've been up to lately. And by...

Every day in China is an Adventure: June 2008
http://wendyinchina07.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Cultural exchange like whoa. Earlier this week, I taught my students how to FLOSS. We were doing a lesson on daily routines. I talked about how it is quite common for Americans to brush their teeth in the middle of the day, after lunch. And that some Americans even floss after lunch. I asked the class if anyone brushed their teeth or flossed after lunch, knowing full well the answer would be No. From Los A...

Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Sunday, April 27, 2008. Reporting from Seoul, S.Korea! Dear Friends and Readers,. Please forgive me for having neglected my blog for so long. I started writing pretty frequently in my personal blog, so I kinda gave up writing detailed entries here (In case you haven't noticed from the many video posts). But now I am back! And I'm in Korea! It's been really great. Here is the play-by-play, more for my sake than for your's. Picked u...

Every day in China is an Adventure: Nationalism at its best (and its worst)
http://wendyinchina07.blogspot.com/2008/05/nationalism-at-its-best-and-its-worst.html
Every day in China is an Adventure. Living and teaching in Beijing, China. Tuesday, May 20, 2008. Nationalism at its best (and its worst). It's been a little over a week since the 8.0 earthquake hit Sichuan. I've been following the news, trying to digest the photos, the news reports, and the ever rising death toll, and having an extremely hard time trying to put into words all the feelings bubbling up inside. People suffering. When they suffer, I. And that is nationalism at its best. I know I'm gener...
