Housekeeping

Not a very eventful weekend. Attendance at English Corner on Friday ballooned from four to 30, so we moved it outside because the classroom was too small. Since then I've mostly been cleaning and getting organized for this week, with a brief foray to the Silk Alley Market and Sanlitun, where we ended up at a bar frequented by rugby players and/or spectators. October break is coming up, however, so I need to make travel plans.

A small revision to the mailing address I sent out earlier, as I left out the postal code. It's 101149.

I've been posting photos on Facebook -- for those of you not on the site, click the following links to see pictures from the Shanghai seminar, campus tour, Tiananmen Square/Forbidden City and Beijing Opera.

China Fun Fact: There are more than 50,000 Chinese characters, of which 5,000-8,000 are in common use and 3,000 are used for everyday purposes.
