One of our mentors, Mr. Jim Richner stated the title on the first day we were here. What a true thing.....
Last night, we were treated to a wonderful dinner hosted by the school. All of the new staff were there, along with the administration. The place we ate at was extrordinary. If/when any of you visit, we will go. Next door is a bar that is owned by a teacher at our school (ISB).
Referring back to the title, Jim took us on an adventure today into the heart of Beijing to do some shopping... We went to a golf shop, then to Worker's Stadium (where the soccer was played), then to lunch at a local place, and finally to an electronic store...
Lunch was fantastic! For about $1.50, we had a bowl of noodles that were prepared in front of our eyes, plus a local beer.... It tasted great, but I think that I garnered some unwanted attention when the workers were getting a good chuckle out of me as I tried to use chopsticks..... By the end of the ordeal, I was pretty good. Lord knows, I'll have plenty of practice..
In an hour, we're off to watch the bronze medal women's basketball game, followed by the gold medal game... The US women will play the Aussie women...
