"Can I just say: students are awesome. They bought food, spent literal hours cooking it all (including some of my FAVORITE dishes - yu xiang rou si and gan bian si ji dou for your edjumacation) and refused to let me help clean up my own apartment. But the crazy thing is, this isn't crazy. My teammates and I have experienced this MANY times. They constantly show me hospitality in my own home!! So, basically they're the coolest. That is all." from China teacher Lisa Speckhard
