Sunday - a busy day.

Although we had no classes today, we stayed very busy. We left at 8:30 this morning and drove down near the Macau border. We went through an art gallery depicting 20th century woodcuts and paintings by Chinese artists. Many of the woodcuts depicted lifescapes from the 1930s through the 1960s. Another set of paintings were of scenes from beautiful, mountainous Sichuan Province.

We then had lunch with a government official. During the meal, a question was raised about the possibility of a multi-year agreement to do English Teacher training. After supper this evening, Luke and others gathered to work out a proposal. Discussions will take place over the upcoming week to see whether an agreement can be reached. We appreciate your keeping these strategic discussions in your thoughts.

In the afternoon, we went to a park that is a recreation of the famous Beijing Renming palace. In the late 1840s, during the infamous Opium Wars, British and French forces burned the palace. A re-creation has been built here in Zhuhai – and the Chinese people still haven’t forgotten what happened way back then.

Tomorrow – the second week of camp begins. Thanks for your continuing concern and thoughts.
