It's a great day outside today. Just enough wind blowing to throw red and orange leaves around, and there is that distinct smell in the air that winter is almost here. I am really craving some chili right now.
Today we had two teachers from a school in Canada come to visit, and my job was to play tour guide and interpreter. Apparently our kindergarten has a sister school in Canada, and every February we do a teacher exchange. It gives our teachers a chance to see other methods, and it gives the Canadian kindergarten (which is also sponsored by a college) a chance to send Graduate students and PhD candidates over to do research and help out our curriculum. It's a pretty good feeling when even the white people are blown away by how good my Chinese is. They are really excited knowing now that I will be here in February, and I am too since they want to include me in helping their research projects. I get to pretend I'm a graduate student for 2 weeks when they come at the end of February/March.
In addition to that, I've started spending a lot of time previewing restaurants and locations around me. I've been getting prices on hotels, parks, and setting up daily itineraries for when the five-some comes to visit for Christmas. Pretty excited. If anyone wants to try and stow away in their suitcase they are certainly welcomed.
That's my short update for today.

I can't destroy your chili when you're over in China ;-)
