Force Scholarship Students have been awarded their scholarships on the basis of hardship and leadership potential. They've got mentors/sponsors in Hong Kong. Our role is to touch base with them (like this party), and reserve weekly office hours just for them.
Colleague Party - just some friends who teach at this university too. Singing carols in English and Chinese sparked good discussion. Here's our buddy Wade, and his wife, soon to be first-time parents. Wade's cookie has a frosting speedo.
Christmas Eve dinner with our boss, the Foreign Affairs Officer! (nice guy.)

So great to hear from you and see all these pictures!! your blog is kind of both a story of the little family and a traveller's notes, and i enjoy reading it so much. Glad to know you're fine there in China; we both (me and Diana) miss you very much and often recall you and the time we spent together in Changsha (which was not so much but certainly great).
