Are We There Yet?: July 2009
http://nbwong.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Are We There Yet? A year in China. Friday, July 31, 2009. After dealing with about four months of blocked blogs (and youtube, and facebook, and whatever else the China government deemed unhealthy for communism), I am going to try to keep up with this thing again. In two more days, Denis and I leave for Hong Kong where we will be working in schools that are not run by China . . . and, yes, that is a very good thing. Not quite sure what to expect yet, but I can't wait. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

not quite home: a quick note
http://denisgwong.blogspot.com/2010/02/quick-note.html
A china blog, sort of. Saturday, February 6, 2010. It's been a little over a year since Anny died, and I just wanted to say to her, thank you for being a good student and a caring person. I still think of you all of the time, and I always will. I found out today that one of my students from last semester passed away last week in a car accident and thought of what youd written about Anny. Its awful. March 23, 2010 at 12:55 PM.

A china blog, sort of. Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Once more, with feeling. Well, a few weeks into teaching and I'm starting to remember what it was like last year. Yes, that confused, fuzzy look staring back at me from all angles. Grading and powerpointing late into the night (currently working on 'marketing mix- pricing methods' a must read for all A-level Business Studies students! In my class).

A china blog, sort of. Tuesday, January 12, 2010. A race to catch up, and then lag behind again. I don't like Thai food," I told cole. Let's start there; it's as good as place as any to catch up to the last 2-3 months. What am I going to eat? I continued on. And that wasn't the only problem with going to Bangkok for a month. Actually hold on, before that let me quickly say that look here:. My dad visited us! Ok, back to where I was:. So after my dad's visit, I told cole:. These are the types of places I ...

A china blog, sort of. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Upon entering the gate for the plane, I thought we were in trouble. We handed in our tickets, and the attendant stopped us. It turned out though, that we were upgraded to first class! In first class, we had much more leg room than we've ever had before, but everything else was pretty much the same. No fancy meals, no champagne or extra movies. Oh well, the flight was only a couple hours anyway. Oh, and the diet coke? Above is me and my brother, going for ...

Yes, there are many things I miss about new york, but this one is about the music, how every band passes through at some point or another. Missing this one hurts. rural alberta advantage. catch them at bowery on oct 7th, or just buy their album. I recently found out that Handsome Furs (the side project of Dan Boeckner [of Wolf Parade fame]) was in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and I didn't know! A neat clip of handsome furs:.
