Anticipating Another Excursion

This is a place we are hoping to visit on the week-end. Last week-end we just walked past the entrance of the building which is an exhibition-museum centre of sorts. One interesting thing was that behind the building was stadium seating which we assume must be for entertainments of a historical nature. We will see. This is located in YanCheng.

In front of this structure was a large series of displays featuring stone carving on miniature scale and progressing to some fairly large pieces. One piece that I really want is a pale green jade carving of an eagle to add to my collection at home. Maureen has larger ambitions as you can see.

Now that we are back in classes teaching, we are surprised at how fast the weeks are flying. Only four weeks left after this for most of the classes including exam week. Already, all of our course plans are tossed as we let students do and speak more in the classes. What we originally planned as a one-day class has often turned into a two-day set of lessons. It's a good thing no one actually checks what we do in the classroom with the original plan submitted to the office.

Now, back to getting ready for our afternoon classes.
