Tidbits

Some of m' students. We have fun.


To be read like a harper's findings:

You can't transfer rmb to us dollars in China. One form of birth control is to give a pregnant woman an injection to kill the fetus. The government will do this if someone has had more than one child and is even 8 months pregnant. I've been told again and again that most organic food in China is really, not organic. The veggies and such still have lots of chemicals, and I should never eat anything raw, even if I wash it. There was a recent scandal about people soaking cardboard in meat juice and then putting that in dumplings.


I went through a serious bout of homesickness this week, cursing my entire existence for ever moving to this country. Apparently the 2-3month mark is the worst, and I hope it'll only get better from here on out.

staying up too late for school. I found you're blog through Hilary. It has put a dazzling perspective on my evening and for that I am most appreciative of you.
