My Chinese Class

This is my Chinese class. We started out with six students, but something happened along the way. Now we are down to just us three. From left to right the students are John from New Zealand, me and Damon from California. The Chinese lady is our teacher Fan Ling Ling, from China. I would like to point out the it was my day off, and I rode my bike to school. That's why the boys look so much better dressed than me.

John, Damon and I all work for Wall Street (and Wall Street is paying for our classes) but we don't all work at the same location. Only Damon and I actually work together. Damon made me brownies for my birthday, which he served warm, right out of the microwave, topped with vanilla Haagen Dazs ice cream. Yum!!

Damon is also the star student, but he pays for a private tutor on the side (which is almost like cheating!). John and I struggle along. But even though it's a bit of a struggle to learn, I'm really enjoying it. In fact I think I'd like to continue my Chinese lessons when I return to Canada, or JiaNaDa as we like to say here in Shanghai.
