If you wish to leave a comment I think you have to open an account with this blog. It is easy, but you don't have to. Bye for now. Frank Redmond, aka "Hong Qin Fen" (my Chinese name). SMH, LOL, ROFL. Enjoy!


I think this was a picture of an ice breaker with another group. Note the dark, long sleeve shirt I was wearing in a room that had to be 95 d. F., on the sixth floor, no elevator, well, actually there was an elevator but it was mostly locked when I arrived. It all gave new meaning to the Yiddish word "schvitzing".......sweating. Had to drink lots and lots of shway (H2O).



The guy on the left, named "Lemon" (English name), wants to be a special education teacher and was very enthusiastic about the new concepts I was presenting. He also assisted me to get to the bus station on the day that I left for the plane in Guangzhou. We continue to correspond.






Portia on the left, and Snow on the right were two of the translators / student assistants who helped with the course at Zhaoqing University. They are both sophomores and very very hard working.



















Bonne was one of my translators at the Zhaoqing University for the course on special education / deaf education that I gave.












Found: One big American in an ocean of preschoolers. It was a fantastic day and experience!














Dr. Feng and I shaking hands for all the world to see. He is a Ph.D. and has written nine books. He gave me a copy of his latest, autographed in Chinese of course. He also directs four different schools, three preschool / kindergartens and one middle school. He was extremely friendly and has invited me back to provide more directions with curriculum.
















I just had to have a picture of these hand - chairs. They gave one an uplifted feeling and new meaning to the expression "Slap me five!"


















Miss Chen, assistant principal on left, Miss Kathy, head teacher on the right assisting me to tell the Story of Ping at the Huaji preschool / kindergarten.




















"down the hatch"






















Dr. Feng on the right, Miss Chen on the left...he is treating his bad cold with a specially mixed potion made just for him. A votre sante, gam bie! to your health.
























Dr. Feng had a bad cold, so he, Miss Chen and I stopped at a Chinese apothecary store so he could get a mixed brew to treat his cold. I felt bad for him, but he seemed happy to get the potion and drank it right there. This young woman is using a hand held scale to measure out the ingredients. It seemed to be an old family business and a great experience for me to see the actual process of Chinese medicine in practice.


























I think I will try to post more than 5 pictures this time.
