About Me

My photo
I love to teach and I love math. Teaching has always been a passion since I was in 5th grade. I gained a love of math later in eighth grade. I have been told that I always have a smile on my face and a song in my heart which is the best description of me.

Assorted images from Chinatown

Here is the first picture of a tea house that is in Chinatown. I
thought the name was clever. Then I thought the image that went with
it was cute.

The next picture is of a hair salon, but the name was translated to
English poorly. I guess you would be walking into a saloon where they
serve some hairy drinks. Like maybe a fuzzy navel. Anyways I thought
you would get a kick out of the sign.

The last photo was is of a museum that is all lit up. I went to
another museum nearby this one. It was a silk museum. I looked around
the exhibits. Then I looked around the store. I wanted to by a nice
silk jacket, but I thought I would wait. I didn't want to spend my
first paycheck that quickly. I also really want to go somewhere to get
a tailored silk jacket. That way it looks really nice on me. I also
think that I could haggle with a tailor and get a jacket for cheaper.
I really wanted to buy a silk scarf though. They were a reasonable
price, but I still wanted to save my money. The cheaper ones that I
was thinking of getting were 180 yuan (30$). I was glad that I waited
though. On my way back from the birds nest I found a vendor in the
street selling similar scarfs for 15 yuan (2.30$). I was awesome. I
love the scarf that I got. If it breaks or frays I won't care too much
considering it cost 2.30$.

So those are all the high lights from my exploration of Beijing. I had
to break it up into different posts because I could only send so many
photos.
