"When I grow up I want to be a foreigner!" (p. 23). I loved his description about teaching directions and having his students draw maps in class. So far, he's been pretty authentic to the idea of living in China, as well as the ideas behind working in a classroom. I love the smattering of history tidbits that he's adding as well, so far, it's been a charming read. Looking forward to continuing through the book.
