Thanks for publishing your story. I can identify with it totally, having just spent a day in Nanchang. I am one of 6 foreign teaching at ECIT in Fuzhou, Jangxi province. Please drop me a note. I am sure that I will be back in Nanchang in the future. Just walking around the city is a cultural experience with all of the different looks one gets. My friend from New Zealand and I had the pleasure of talking with one of the coaches of the Chinese Canoe Team-the coach of a past gold medal team at that. His well-spoken english was delightful and a real contrast to the well-intended but simple “hello” that was not uncommon.
Best of luck to you and keep the good work.
Ross

It is a very interesting story!
The girl is very brave, she has the courage to talk to a foreinger stranger. There are many chinese children who taught by their parents not to talk to strangers when alone. I like that girl! If i encounter you oneday, i will also talk to you and ask some caucual quentions,too.

I haven’t looked at their webpage since I arrived in Nanchang and discovered CBC. Yeah, the music is horrible! And the animation is so pathetically slow that it looks like the designer forgot about this part of the webpage while the annoying music repeats endlessly. Yikes! But I have to tell you that their french fries are fantastic.

That CBC webpage is really creepy. I think it’s the music.
