We got to see the traditional side of China, which was great! We saw rice fields and farmers, an outdoor alligator enclosure with 200 gators (they raise them for restaurants), and picked dragon eyes for dinner. We then had a big dinner with the whole family, and it was a great time! Iris (my host cousin), Ruth, and I posed for this picture after dinner.</div>The English Camp Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01706398382911507440noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-57745739869293085622009-07-28T17:22:00.003+08:002009-07-28T17:34:58.293+08:00Camp activities are in full swing during the last week.<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFmoQ7jE45-w3h5SpDod1QxfX9qd5db4gIPoPzvFySUQZ4Qf89IAeJF2hIfDTy_b6oNr7NvOlfPjY5FBvvlFVXOb4GfmJJFoXgRQLPz4Sk4Ds_qQqonH99OxWCYJNWsMI94EVl_iOyVwt/s1600-h/matt-speaks.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 231px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLFmoQ7jE45-w3h5SpDod1QxfX9qd5db4gIPoPzvFySUQZ4Qf89IAeJF2hIfDTy_b6oNr7NvOlfPjY5FBvvlFVXOb4GfmJJFoXgRQLPz4Sk4Ds_qQqonH99OxWCYJNWsMI94EVl_iOyVwt/s320/matt-speaks.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363440088264048562" border="0" /></a>Each day in the morning “free talk” begins with an opening.

More than anyone else in China, Mr. Zhang has been instrumental in the development of the relationships that led to the Zhuhai English Teacher Training and Summer Camp. Luke and Mr. Zhang met nearly 20 years ago and their friendship has lasted. I was privileged to be part of some of the early involvement in Zhuhai, so when Mr. Zhang brought out his photo album from “way back,” I was in some of the early pictures. Even though I wasn’t in Macau for most of the time in the intervening years, I had a good time reminiscing with Mr. Zhang and Canaan about all that has happened to bring us to today.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Jeff</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br /></p></span>Greg Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12215914626532332039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-38504393251001265232009-07-27T20:30:00.003+08:002009-07-27T20:37:02.291+08:00From Joanne<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd8VCcDM2MO8kLTbIAGu0Ql35dpsaC4LR9op4vvY39z7nt9tgAqc9Th6YE2313zhMroaTCMbHQMd1bI9nO8-K2dZ1aBOx_t2ZANskFlU48SvC0qZ752GuVWTlGqEmMDSFi8u_BJhGBpQ/s1600-h/xiangjoanne"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDd8VCcDM2MO8kLTbIAGu0Ql35dpsaC4LR9op4vvY39z7nt9tgAqc9Th6YE2313zhMroaTCMbHQMd1bI9nO8-K2dZ1aBOx_t2ZANskFlU48SvC0qZ752GuVWTlGqEmMDSFi8u_BJhGBpQ/s320/xiangjoanne" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363116998906924418" /></a><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">On Saturday, my host family took me sightseeing around Zhuhai.

Apartment buildings surround the village, but life seemingly continues as it has for the last century. Walking down the street we heard a Cantonese orchestra practicing and so one of the more bold teachers began investigating. Soon we found ourselves on the second floor of the cultural center with the most inviting group of musicians you could ever meet. They demonstrated their instruments and did an number of pieces just for us. Before we left we all posed for a group photo. </span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 16.0px Times"><br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxJGwBb8cKnnIMp7F9Q8e9ThEFAcmYy2i6dZnJZF1HX2530NhFAkivpF87Q9Wa5cn-Jae0E6yve8mF5qei3pt4-03brVfBFLS88K6cqaLdBcKQmMRMRH81onzric8L1eXhzTeTOsOXNI/s1600-h/xianggroup.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcxJGwBb8cKnnIMp7F9Q8e9ThEFAcmYy2i6dZnJZF1HX2530NhFAkivpF87Q9Wa5cn-Jae0E6yve8mF5qei3pt4-03brVfBFLS88K6cqaLdBcKQmMRMRH81onzric8L1eXhzTeTOsOXNI/s320/xianggroup.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363114759935234002" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Group photo.

After a nice brunch we headed off to visit the Jin Tai Temple just outside the city. On the way up we passed numerous fish ponds, banana plantations and rice paddies. Time was a little limited and so we quickly climbed the hundreds of stairs and toured the temple area. The temple is a wonderful example of Asian architecture and art. We were all very happy to find a vendor selling cool drinks where we boarded the bus to return to Xiangzhou. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; "><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; ">Jeff</p><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; "><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 16px/normal Times; "><br /></p>Greg Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12215914626532332039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-36705338880881523372009-07-27T19:24:00.005+08:002009-07-27T19:33:10.803+08:00Sunday brings both teams together – Doumen and Xiangzhou<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE_rstZCWlM5YejpQout7IbnqP38aZytDXB8Q0zhan76YmuqKi2QVJjAXSGzqqoZ-Z_ICciOprGdmm2BBphm6vNtD1phAfmrxlQNXe0YMrbIahZ_1Auf3Mhzl25aLCszW4vVR7udnR1xO/s1600-h/morn-tea.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE_rstZCWlM5YejpQout7IbnqP38aZytDXB8Q0zhan76YmuqKi2QVJjAXSGzqqoZ-Z_ICciOprGdmm2BBphm6vNtD1phAfmrxlQNXe0YMrbIahZ_1Auf3Mhzl25aLCszW4vVR7udnR1xO/s320/morn-tea.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363101430420116434" border="0" /></a>Jumbo hosted a traditional “morning tea” and large room is needed for both teams.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGylTJsmSsFR_SrYuX3bDsnUp6oHovPGImCgk5J7stF2bH6g_5uHH9IDnZCd7uUUBnUC_VDNrf-PLCxN-6N2QxnT4artqgxQoCgRZ2Ge5RT2d1zlWiswyD7Ov7HdK6FTvVpWfqPwPdeoLG/s1600-h/betty.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGylTJsmSsFR_SrYuX3bDsnUp6oHovPGImCgk5J7stF2bH6g_5uHH9IDnZCd7uUUBnUC_VDNrf-PLCxN-6N2QxnT4artqgxQoCgRZ2Ge5RT2d1zlWiswyD7Ov7HdK6FTvVpWfqPwPdeoLG/s320/betty.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363101154072227042" border="0" /></a>Susie, Betty and Nancy enjoy the morning.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip-M9gWg9VPOa4HaimCVOjOu2RfUHKH4PtjzrDSoOm-2Mxvf8YYQIsC4kBIoe_xc83xCSm48xeLCdR8UiU_NLd3agDgNxIKzAn7RK-5QzOtRWfCzY7iP-1hsoWXqwqqpdixgzS0TBRL7LN/s1600-h/temple.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip-M9gWg9VPOa4HaimCVOjOu2RfUHKH4PtjzrDSoOm-2Mxvf8YYQIsC4kBIoe_xc83xCSm48xeLCdR8UiU_NLd3agDgNxIKzAn7RK-5QzOtRWfCzY7iP-1hsoWXqwqqpdixgzS0TBRL7LN/s320/temple.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363100870460806034" border="0" /></a>Following the morning tea we became tourists as we traveled to the local temple.

In previous years, we usually took this weekend to do some BIG event - travel, white-water rafting, etc. - with our Chinese leaders. This year, Luke worked with Jumbo to get a weekend with a day of downtime. Most of the team members spent time with their host families or, if the host families were busy, with the host families of other Americans. I will remember Saturday as one of the most relaxing days I've ever spent in China - a walk on a hillside, a rest to catch up on correspondence, and a walk around a pedestrian-only island. Just very nice - and a good time to spend with our host families.<br /><br />Sunday, the Xiangzhou team took a bus to Doumen where we met with the Doumen team. It was nice to compare notes on how our weeks had gone and to get ideas of events that had been particularly successful. After a two-hour dim sum, the group (including many of our Chinese friends) went to a large and ornate Buddhist temple before the Xiangzhou group headed back to town.<br /><br />I (Jeff Sherlock) was able to meet up with a couple of teachers from the first year and continue building our friendship. Later, I met with my host family from the first year for a dinner with a number of government officials - police chief, environmental protection officer, businessman and others.<br /><br />Tomorrow, we begin the final week. We hope to continue to develop closer relationships with our new friends and talk some about important things in our lives.Jeff Sherlockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14565389997846033984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-39238841599004270462009-07-26T00:43:00.004+08:002009-07-26T17:16:11.349+08:00Xiangzhou teachers and students learn English<a style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm6B2_97vjG-UGzLlQXqzclK_nTKNvibd6U1CBlHxnGUkSUd1Pe6rwuee58gv3hwWx7PFHyZyHyZ2MBNnkcA3C2-d7bweO2JFxLCEZswaIW7c7i6DQpd14AJe9CG3_mH_f0Z7w0GpoOug/s1600-h/xiangval.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm6B2_97vjG-UGzLlQXqzclK_nTKNvibd6U1CBlHxnGUkSUd1Pe6rwuee58gv3hwWx7PFHyZyHyZ2MBNnkcA3C2-d7bweO2JFxLCEZswaIW7c7i6DQpd14AJe9CG3_mH_f0Z7w0GpoOug/s320/xiangval.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362440272647972370" border="0" /></a><p style="margin: 0px 0px 16px; text-align: center; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: arial;font-family:Times;font-size:15px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Valerie conducts an interactive exercise with middle school students during one of her demonstration lessons.

(Actually, Jeff ate part of one roll – but he certainly felt looked after!)</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; text-align: center; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Jeff</p><p style="margin: 0px; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0px; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /></p>Greg Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12215914626532332039noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-18262406015290302222009-07-26T00:31:00.003+08:002009-07-26T00:35:19.933+08:00Luke with his Chinese teachers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGw7ORy7Src7vCGO-NNtMKsVCvuU8DZvqEcCrhOIpPsKX9en6HVb80o7Q4YAd70pTd7hwDH7BvBrDBNHtRxJprvWn2kykJAv7W4GXvZ2c9oiFdMpTYi_BwVm7sSx712BOoHlHga2SUT4/s1600-h/doumenluke2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPGw7ORy7Src7vCGO-NNtMKsVCvuU8DZvqEcCrhOIpPsKX9en6HVb80o7Q4YAd70pTd7hwDH7BvBrDBNHtRxJprvWn2kykJAv7W4GXvZ2c9oiFdMpTYi_BwVm7sSx712BOoHlHga2SUT4/s320/doumenluke2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362436531798629826" /></a><p style="text-align: center;margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 13px/normal Monaco; "><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">This was the group I had for free talk from 8:30 until 10:00 every morning my first week here.

The students were divided into four teams, given a list of 30 items around the school to find, and sent out to photograph them. Some of the items (e.g., a yellow flowerpot) were obvious; others (e.g., something about love) allowed the students some creativity in deciding how to represent them. Then we loaded the pictures onto the computer and projected it onto a screen, while a student from each group read off what each picture represented. Of course the weather was hot and humid, so we were all nice and warm, but the cafeteria provided cooling drinks for everyone.<br />Though we had some bumps early in the week, the last three days things have gone pretty smoothly. The teachers all developed and taught English lessons following the principles and techniques they learned last week. It was stressful for them, but from what I heard, they did fairly well. They got feedback from our Academic team and next week each teacher will teach an individual lesson. All the teachers I’ve talked to express appreciation for the new things they’ve learned.<br /><br />Our team is working together well. We spend most evenings with our individual host families, but Thursday evening we all got together for an evening of at Pizza Hut. I’m pleased with how everyone is supporting everyone else – and our hosts notice as well.<br />Much of the last couple of weeks have been “getting to know you.” Next week will, I think, be important to continue deepening friendships and talking about important things. Already, we seem some deepening discussions. We don’t know exactly how everything will go, but we are happy that people are engaging.<br />Today is a day to relax with our hosts. Tomorrow all of us will go to Doumen to connect with the rest of the team. Then Monday we begin the final weeks. Thanks for thinking of us.Jeff Sherlockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14565389997846033984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5584788769648417401.post-69980939158754424232009-07-25T04:12:00.003+08:002009-07-25T20:22:38.398+08:00Doumen: A week in review - Primary Grade Nester Team<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXV7lq5TAC9JZsicRc9WiBND81F_Mjp_8qvnrCum7x7ZEfzjYnHZIEkZtsuscEsVoh3DeAIp4cAkztDoOW0BRNs__JkIe2ucY6MkC8YXRvrg6RmIdgcT7F6xO91yQDH4yls3ZNjVr4rg0/s1600-h/IMG_7923.jpg"><img style="display:block;
