Don's on TV! You're famous Buddy! Now, I want to see the video clip!
I honestly love reading your emails about the way of Life over there, Don. I have kept all the correspondence you have emailed in a folder, titled "Don". Such an interesting view of things over there. Really good blogging material!

I sat with students after class yesterday and they said 'tell us about the differences between Canada and here'. Where to begin? Night and day with the differences. I could teach a whole term of classes on the differences. What we think about the world if you turn it 180o then you get China. It is so different! I am not saying anything about who is right or who is wrong. Some of each culture is right. But, man, some things here are not right. I don't care if you are socialist or conservative or an extreme environmentalist but some things do not ring true with me. I think they will implode soon. The one-child policy is not working. There are now too many old people and not enough young people. They retire at 55. So there is so much pressure on the kids. I talk to them a lot.

I have to go teach.
