Free_Lancer05, I hate to sound nosy, since you don't know me and all. But do you teach at an International school or a regular school in Beijing? Also, how is your Chinese? I have been fluent in Mandarin for about a year now, but there is still so much I can learn. Sorry to bother you, but I think it's neat to find another member who I hope has an interest in the Chinese language as I do! Michael
