So far its great. I just miss the food at home. I want some Southwest Eggrolls. It makes me want them more to write about it.
Here is a picture from here:
This is Scott at Carrefour. Its supposed to be the French version of Walmart but really its just another store with lots of things with tags not printed in english so I have no idea what it is. Sometimes its obvious, sometimes its not. Usually with food, I have no idea what I'm buying.
He's holding my pig pillow.
I hope this posting works. Thus far most blogging websites like this have been blocked. I think I might be able to update this one (as I'm doing now) but not actually be able to see the finished webpage. Don't judge it if it looks silly. I have no idea what it looks like.
More Photos Time!!
This is the main entrance to Nanjing Forestry University. Its where we are living and teaching. We usually use the back entrance near our apartment. Most employees of the school live on campus as do most of the students.
This is the outside of our apartment building. It looks rather run down on the outside but its really a nice place. We enter through that big, green metal door and we're the apartment on the second floor on the left. Those are the windows to our kitchen and bathroom there on the second floor.I'll include more pictures in the next post.
Right now we're still settling in. I start teaching on Monday with one 8am class and then another 8am class on Tuesday. Thats it for that week. The week of the 17th all our classes begin and both Scott and I will be teaching 8 classes a week (16 classes total at one hour and a half each). I'll let you know how those classes go.
Right now its getting rather late. I wanted to get to bed a little earlier so I can start getting up early to get ready for Monday. When we first arrived here we naturally woke up at 5 or 6 in the morning but now, without jetlag or a real job yet, we've settled into sleeping until 9 or so.
Good night and hopefully there will be more posts on this blog in the coming days!!

Love the pillow Scott!
Hello Kat!
Glad to hear that you and Scott arrived safely and that all is well.
I've forwarded your emails to Peter Tran. Strangely, your emails may have been routed to his junk mail folder (same thing here when I get your emails even though you've been added as a contact).
Janice and I arrived back on Sunday from our vacation in Oregon. I was awed by the landscape, mountains, and majestic splendor of Oregon natural sceneries! I’ll be publishing our trip on the web very soon.
I hope that your experience in China will be an unforgettable learning experience and one that will bring lots for fond memories. Keep in touch.
Leo
