I am a movie star in China!

Well.... maybe not quite. But I was chosen to do a voice over for a promotional video the school is producing to send to post-secondary institutions all over the globe! People in Australia, Canada, UK, etc. will hear my "sweet voice" (they like my voice in China) speaking of Shenyang Institute of Engineering's achievements and amenities. I must have done pretty well because I only had to record it twice.

However, it did mean that I had to miss the first Foreign Teacher's Chinese lesson provided by the school. Oh well, the teacher, Vivian, promised to make it up for me which was very nice.

I am sitting at my computer, listening to a big rain storm and Ron Sexsmith. Karli is teaching right now. I went down between her classes and brought some coffee down for her. She always comes to sit with me on my break between periods of my HVAC class, so I wanted to say thanks to her. We are going to a DVD store today after a staff meeting. May also go to the fabric market.

I think we may go to do some KTV (karaoke) this weekend. The teachers have a Chinese friend named Jack who we met last week who is apparently a KTV star. He and I discussed singing a duet. I hope they have either Elton John and Kiki Dee "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" or Meatloaf's "Paradise By the Dashboard Light". That would be ideal.

Here are a couple of pictures of the weather today. You can hardly see the dome shaped building in the background, due to the rain and fog. Cleared up significantly since I started writing this...
