Mr. Wang

For the record, President Wang of Chengde Medical College likes to make the foreign girls drink baijou and pijou as much as possible. It is then Chinese tradition for us to toast him back. We just had our office New Years party and Andrea and I are now officially Mr. Wang's "little sisters". He wants Andrea to come back next semester and for me to "stay in China as long as possible". He also wants to go to Harbin with me. He doesn't know when we should go, but we should because it's very beautiful. What? Everyone else in his office also wanted us to drink and because Andrea is getting a cold I took the brunt of the good wishes. I busted out what little Chinese I know (like when they asked me jigga shi baijou ma? this is baijou right? and I said dui, shi baijou... yes, it's baijou... I got a round of applause. Man I love it here) I will also be Mr. Wang's honored guest for the 2008 Beijing Olympics...

Don't worry, I'll post about Christmas tomorrow or something. I just had to share this...
Tipsy off fire water and crappy Chinese beer,
