About this blog

I will fly into Bangkok Thailand then travel around Cambodia before heading up to the city of Guiyang in the Provence of Guizhou, China where I will be working with local english teachers for one month through Oakland University and the Guizhou Government. I will then make my way back to Bangkok and fly home August 19th. I will let you know which way the wind blows. Adventure here I come!

I am continuing the blog that I started three years ago. The trip is basically the same. This is my fourth year in a row teaching with Oakland University in their Summer Institute. I have been to Xian Qui, Zunyi. Guizhou and now Bijie. There are more country teachers here. They are the most enthusiastic appreciative students I have had yet!

I will not be returning ti Michigan as I have retired and accepted a job as Head of Physical Education at the International School of Busan in South Korea.
