Because we live out-in-the-sticks of Dole Valley, Washington, in America,
the big-city life of Chongqing, China,
certainly appeals to us during this contracted year of teaching English at Chongqing No. 8 High School.
 |
| In actuality, this is where one very polluted river meets another. |
 |
| Chongqing has a mono-rail system, and is now working on an extensive subway system. They have built MANY bridges across the city's two rivers. |
 |
| The city is particularly beautiful at night. |
 |
| There is plenty of opportunity for entertainment in the city! The Blue Sky Theater produces a show with music, dance, and acrobatics (involving a twirling trapeze). Great fun to watch! |
The very best part of being in the big city, though, involves the people we have met here.....
most specifically the students and teachers!
One very special student is Cassiopeia,
a girl who now has a pen-pal at Battle Ground High School in the U.S.A......
It is so exciting to know that two girls on opposite sides of the planet are now communicating!
 |
| Cassiopeia! After mailing her first letter at the China Post, we celebrated friendship at Pizza Hut! |
