As some of you may have noticed, there has been a two week gap in our postings. Well, all of us have been quite busy with a number of activities. A number of compelling events have taken place since July 21. Be sure to read through the complete post and I am sure you will enjoy the update on all of the activities.
- Chinese guests' visit - As noted in an earlier post, Ruizhang and Xiaoyuan continued their US visit from July 21 through 23. They had the pleasure of making a weekend trip to Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed the show 'Wicked'. Here is a couple of pictures of Ruizhang and Xiaoyuan in (rainy) Chicago {No, the drink Xiaoyuan has in her hand is not 'margarita'; it must be some form of 'lemonade'. We did establish that these two chinese students are well-rounded in 'alcohol'}
Dr. Lin Min, the charismatic Principal of Xiwai International School in Shanghai, China arrived in Indianapolis over the July 20th weekend. Dr. Lin forgot that there is such a thing called "jet lag" and was just bouncing!
Dr. Lin and the two students had the privilege of touring Purdue university on Monday, July 21st. They could not resist posing in front of the athletic fields!
Much of July 22nd and July 23rd was spent inside the WFYI studios recording for the upcoming DVD release - Two Million Minutes in China, A deeper look at Chinese Education. Needless to say, our Chinese guests were grasping for fresh air and a shot of 'margarita'!
