A Compendium of AKIC's Saturday Thinkings
- The current fashion in China is to call stupid people "two" (二). The student, who told me this, couldn't tell me why this was. He also couldn't tell me why a green hat was considered to be the sign of a cuckold.
- Tony plays one parent off the other?
- A student in one of my classes told me that Obama looks like a "monkey." Oh oh. That's what you get when doing a conversation class about beauty, you ask about the looks of some famous people. For the record, none of the students thought Bruce Lee was handsome -- and there I have been with a man-crush on him! Jackie Chen, they told me, was good-looking when he wasn't a old 45 year old boy (I said ouch! when I heard that.)
- Tony undresses himself before he goes to bed., satisfying a parental fetish while doing so.
- Friday, I had but two classes. It being so slow, I spent a few hours studying Chinese and designing a blog banner.
- I ask the school-age students if they have lots of homework. One student told me she didn't have much school homework to do but that her mother had given her lots. I thought she meant her mother gave her housework, but she added that her mother had some math and Chinese books for her to work through.
- A photo to make one of my blogs look beautiful.
- Search for missing Wuxi China Expats from Toronto, Canada continues despite protests, no budget, and lack of searchers
- Chickens. Someone sent me an email about fowl matters. I don't know what to say in response.
- A photo to make another one of my blogs look wonderful. (A photo taken in downtown Wuxi!)
- Leader of Wuxi China Expatdom Opposition tries hard to warn against a Mango Cult of Personality.
- On the weather front, it has become cold again in Wuxi -- so cold, that I have to put on the long johns again.
- Andis shows off new track he got for his son's train set.
