- The Who's Who of Wuxi Expatdom have been joining Facebook. For instance, I am now Facebook friends with the King of Wuxi, Niels, Adam Lang and Peter Malik. Impressive!
- Here is a interesting article about China and Darfur and China's Southern neighbors. Read it here. It opens with this quote:
“People say China is a sleeping giant, but it’s wide awake. It’s the elephant creeping up behind us. Only, it’s so big we can scarcely see it moving.”
- I am surprised. Some of the students had heard about the assassination of Bhutto. Most of them don't care about news unless it has something to do with China.
- One of the students named the leader of North Korea as his man of the year. Said the student: Kim Il Jung did the sensible thing and let his nuclear activities be supervised.
- I had another student tell me that his favorite Western Comedian was Socrates. I also asked the student if he ever made jokes about foreigners. He replied that he didn't because he didn't know what made them laugh. It turned out, he thought I meant make jokes to foreigners. It took me ten minutes of fruitless conversation to figure this out.
- Here are the latest Wuxi Tony Updates uploaded to Youtube. I am making so many of them now, I am losing count.
- Thankfully, I have grandparents living a long way away so I can justify Tony's seeming overexposure on Youtube.
I beleive I am up to six (since I started counting).
