An Outing: The Tower

In the rain.

It was Wednesday evening, and we were at English Corner talking about my upcoming departure. Someone from Class 2 suggested that the following day the class and I class go for a photo outing. It sounded like a good idea. Thursday morning was drizzly, but we were hopeful that the rain would hold off long enough to get a few pictures in Wenfeng Park. We were wrong. It was a wet but memorable outing. This first set of photos is from the main plaza around Wenfeng Tower.

An Outing: The Gazebo

Victor? What are you doing?

After thrity minutes of trapsing around in the rain, we took shelter in a pagoda style gazebo on the other side of the park. I had 25 exposures left and 20 students present, so I thought it would be neat to take a portrait of each person. Here they are, 19 girls and 1 boy (not including me).

Dongshan Revisited

Dongshan temple

I have taken many trips to and many photos of Dongshan, but each time with new people. Here you'll see Greg, a former student of mine, and Joyce, a student from the Chinese department. You might also notice that the temple has a shiny new coat of paint.

Class 3

Before teaching Class 3 here, I'd never taught freshmen. It's a very intersting challenge. They have the most energy, but the least discipline of the levels. But I guess that's the same for freshmen around the world. These photos come from the last day of class.
