Twin babies, the campus figurehead and dumplings

This is a fascinating culture.... Many of my perceptions are already being overwritten. This proud pappa is blessed to have two boys. What a joy since the students I have talked to feel it is important to limit the number of people. Perhaps because they live in the mass of humanity and it is a lot. A perspective... our city has more people than our entire state has..... Now another interesting cultural difference is potty training. From early on the children are trained to respond to whistles and don't wear diapers, in fact they have pants with a split crotch.. Yes little brown bottoms are somewhat visible and the parents have the convience of allowing them to use the bathroom without removing their clothes. They help them to squat and that is pretty simple. TO much information for you mind and eyes... Oh well, it is part of your cultural training on this culture. The mother's in China love the attention we give their precious babies... Not so different than us. We had dumpling dinner tonight with a number of other English teachers... Wonderful and different. I still don't like TOFU.... even a year here will likely not change that... oh well Pardon me I almost forgot our statue of a world famous character. Even that has been an interesting aspect of chinese history of late....
