talking with students

we met with some students today. i talked with a 18 year old student from Shanghai. he told me there is no Mexican food in china. Kelan wanted to know that. He is in hotel management at university. Another person said people in China love Obama. they don't vote here but love their president because he's good for the economy. To learn English they go to American restaurants- KFC, Dunkin Donuts, PapaJohns. Kids here spend most of their time alone so they love the idea that kids in America go to sports, etc, after school. Kids spend too much time alone with video games here. They also thought we looked like American movie stars.

    Hi! Sounds like a great trip so far! Love the movie star comment!
    You asked someone to remind you to talk about the clothing- so tell us about it!
    Oh yeah- you were a week early on FB with the marathon wishes- we are still in school this week!

    I'm in Shanghai, Anthony! And yes, I totally goofed on the timing. I don't know why I thought this was vacation week. I blame JetLag.
