We left St.
George with an obscene amount of luggage.
Thank you, Hans for transporting us and all the cargo. 33+ hours later we arrived in rainy Jinan. John, another English teacher at the
university, greeted us warmly and delivered the tired bodies and “stuff” to our

the Gordons, followed.
Chinese
students studying English always choose an English name. That has been a huge help in becoming
acquainted and actually calling them by a name we can pronounce. Most of the names are current and popular in
the US. Others are very
interesting: Kangaroo, Luke Skywalker,
Doom, and more.
My first
“restroom” in the airport. There is no
“resting” here. I’ll develop superb leg muscles. This adds a
whole new meaning to
“squats”.
Sounds like an adventure in sooo many ways! Rick I ran into Spencer Jones tonight, he asked how you were doing across the ocean. Keep us posted, it is definitely interesting!
