DragonBoat Festivals, DiscoveryLand, B’days
China surely is the champion of what is and what is not and perceptions mashed together to morph into possibly acceptable perceptions, but not really. Reality is a mistaken illusion – it always has been; look at religion, personal-relationships and politics and education…. Maybe it is best not to look to see but to look Continue reading

Wednesday, October 24, 2012 More at http://dalian.neuage.us/videos/Boee_Brilliant_Villas_.Hill.html photo album for this is at http://neuage.us/BLOGS/photos/ Last Sunday we changed our day around – I suppose if it was my classroom we could say it was the flipped classroom model but I am not going to equate a day of leisure with an academic day.

Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節)
Saturday, September 29, 2012 How are some weekends different from other weekends? When there seems to be no end to the particular one being experienced is my favourite way; for example, this weekend syncs with next weekend in that the days between are part of the holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) and no I Continue reading

Parent Teacher conference

What happened to capitalism and what happened to communism?
At first we thought it would be a luxury hotel. Then someone said it was going to be a winery still others said a display home. Whatever was going up at such a rapid rate was looking quite interesting. It was going to be kind of French as there is a large development going on across the street Continue reading
