NASCAR goes to China
hey guys! After a 30 hour trek across the world we are here and well. very tired, but well. We had our first class today which went very well for the most part. The people here are very hospitable and appreciative that we have come. I kind of feel like a celebrity because people stare at us all the time. I guess we do kind of stand out. there are chinese people everywhere. Today we will probably learn a little chinese. The living conditions arem much different from back home but they have done a great job making our stay as comfortable as possible. We'll teach for the next 9 days then we'll make our trip back. I did teach my class today what NASCAR was and who Dale Earnhardt Jr. is. I also showed them a picture of his car and me and my dad standing beside Dale's #3 : ) Redneck as it may be at least they thought it was cool. I told them that i saw Yao Ming at the Coca Cola 600, so that got me some brownie points with them. LOve y'all and i look forward to seeing you when we get back.
