Let me walk you through some familiar faces, some fun places. Let me give your eyes my sight. Let me share a small slice of my China with you, my dear friends.

The picture above is me (R) and my co-fellow, Alexandra (L) enjoying some local brew, bubble tea.

Here are my senior fellows, James (top) and Daniel (bottom) at a recent special meal, where we all home-cooked some Mexican food. Man, fajitas cooked with soy sauce are interesting.

This is Gerald (R). He is another English teacher at Nong Da, though is not a Shansi fellow. Next to him is a Chinese friend of ours, Alma (L).

This is my tutor and friend, Lynn. I helped her pick out a Guinea pig in Taiyuan. Aww!

Say hello to Boots! He is one of the 2 cats that live in my house, protecting me from rats and loneliness.

This is Mu Mu (sounds like MOO-MOO). She is Boot's mom and also lives in my house.

Speaking of which, this is my house! We have rose bushes growing on the sides of it that, luckily, we do not have to tend ourselves.

This is a picture of my room. Nicely messy, as usual!

This is one of the main streets of campus. It is pleasantly uncrowded today.

Here is one of the buildings where I teach. I teach all my graduate student classes here.

Here's a picture of the general store I buy my breakfast food (Taigu bing) at, and most other daily necessities.

This street has amazing and cheap food of all sorts (stalls and restaurants), so we spend a lot of time here. We eat out almost every night somewhere on this street and at night, it is a zoo, with cars, people, bikes, motorcycles, and lines! Most importantly, this is where you can buy bubble tea. It also recently biblical flooded, which, needless to say, really put a damper on our dinner plans.

This guys just looks so cool biking around, so I snapped a shot of him.

Here is a beautiful street I found on the outskirts on campus. Welcome to rural China!

Just like Oberlin. Here in China, I am still surrounded by corn fields.

This gate marks the main entrance to my university. I hope you liked the tour. If you would like to see more of campus and my house, please click the links below!
