I love…
Some things I love about China are the really small things. I love that flowers bloom when it rains. They dot the trees and shrubs like sprinkles on a very green and brown cake. They are small and subtile and tell of God’s eye for details. These flowers were placed here for beauty and color. I love the way it cools down at night here. … Continue reading I love…
Teacher Denenberg!!!
So, we have been teaching for 3 weeks now. Time goes so quickly… whether or not you’re having fun. Lucky for me, its been about 25% not fun, 75% extra fun. In this blog I’ve posted several photos of my classes. We are encouraged to take photos of our kids for PR reasons, and I’ve taken advantage of it. My first week I taught ESL … Continue reading Teacher Denenberg!!!
Human Feces &etc.
WARNING: This blog post has a graphic photo and stories about… well… poop. But its really funny I think. So only read it if you are not faint of heart. This blog is dedicated to Mike, you were right. Before coming to China, Nick’s friend Mike had warned us that people poop on the streets here. I thought and proclaimed that it could not be … Continue reading Human Feces &etc.
Doctor x2
For those of you about to come to China on a Z visa: We were required to get a medical checkup and full blood workup done prior to obtaining our visas.

It has been a challenging ride to say the least. I was asked by a new friend, Maria, if I was experiencing any culture shock. It is both of our first years living … Continue reading Baby Talk

Then there was light.
Onto the second day. We are now meeting more teachers. Our school has grown so much this summer, there are over 70 new English speaking teachers arriving in China. Yesterday, Nicholas and I were able to visit our school and we are VERY impressed. The school is huge and everything is pristine. I will post some photos of it on this photoblog. Today we had breakfast … Continue reading Then there was light.
Time Travel
I am uncertain what time it is. Well, I know its 4:00pm in Denver, and 3:00pm in Los Angeles. I know its 6:00am in Shanghai. But my body… Has no clue how to process this time change. Nicholas and I have had a weird sleep schedule the last few weeks, I’ll write about it here. But it was a perfect plan: Stay up all night … Continue reading Time Travel
Anxious Days Ahead
Alright folks, as promised, I told you I would update the blog again after we received our visas. We dont technically have them in hand but we will be picking them up from the Passportsandvisas.com office in Denver on Thursday. All in all, it was a really smooth process. We were in the office a total of 10 minutes including wait time. The woman who … Continue reading Anxious Days Ahead
