Seasons Greetings
Well with the holiday season already here and it's kind of hit a stall in China. There is decorations and some jingle bells playing in the backround while I eat stir fried vegatables and spicy meat dishes that are far from the normal holiday tasties you are all enjoying. But hey who can complain, I get Chinese food everyday so all is not lost. But it's all ok the holidays never get me down even though i'm far from home, even though I miss my family, i'm planning on cutting west staright up the great Yangtzee river to my destination of YiChang. YiChang is a city of about 600 000 people as apoosed to where I live which is 6 or 7 million. I'm going there to witness the engineering marvel that blocks off the entire Yangtzee river. Yes the three gorges dam, the biggest dam in the world. Hopefully after navigating the train station and the countless motorcylce taxi's i'll be standing on the top of this huge block of concrete with a massive amount of water flowing beneath my feet. I'm excited to take of and do a little traveling but I only get one day off from school, and the students still go to school that day so I will fall behind a little on my lessons. But who cares because Chinese New Year arrives at the end of January and i'm off from school for a month (long time I know but who's complaining not me I still get paid). Also mom will be making he final landing approach into Wuhan around then and i'll be there to pick her up and take her to show her the sites of Wuhan. Well, i've got some marking to do so, I wish everyone all the best for Christam and the New Year, keep checking for new posts and some new pictures after I get back from YiChang.Merry Christmas !!!

Answer not required....Have a great Chistmas and I will talk to you Sunday and again at Christmas...Have Fun.
Hey Matthew, I'm really glad you are enjoying your time in China. I've thought about teaching English overseas, but I don't think Chance would let me...he'd miss playing hockey too much.(and I'd miss watching him). Hope you have a great Christmas.
