My stuff...your stuff... Anyone lending a hand??

It has been a LOOOOOONG time since I've been on this blog. Many moons and miles have passed... :)

China is the place of most note that I've been to since I've last blogged. I spent six weeks there in the capitol of Inner Mongolia teaching English and American culture to some students at Inner Mongolia Normal University. My counter-part was Moss--a real gentleman. I got to learn so much about Chinese history, culture and of course the people I spent time with. They were the real reason I went! I'll have to put some pics up soon.

We Americans are so in-grown, thinking that we are the only important place in the world. We studiously keep from learning about other places (most of us) so that we don't have to worry about too much. We have our own problems in the USA that need to be taken care of first, right? We need to take care of us before we help others.... .....I hear that so often. It is such a sad frame of mind.

In America, we have so much. If you go home at the end of the day and put a couple coins in a jar or anything similar to that, you are among the 95% of the wealthiest people in the world. Most of the population of the world are concerned with where they will get their next meal and drink of fresh water on a constant basis, we only need to think about such things typically after disasters such as Hurricane Katrina.

So, what's important to you?

For just a little fun with the Chinese language and your name, check out this site... (I found it on another friends blog).
