Wild Wild East: February 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 28, 2008. Extensive travel looms on the horizon with friends visiting soon, and so I prepare them, and myself, for the Real China. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Chinese New Year Fireworks. I can't underestimate the amount of fireworks that were going off at all times over the past couple weeks. Wake up to fireworks, go to bed to fireworks, or set some off in the middle of the day! This is a brief sample from February 8. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Should we talk about the weather?

Wild Wild East: June 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. 2nd round of pics from the U.S. I got spit on yesterday by a four year old. Part of me still can’t believe it happened. I was carrying a bag of clothes that had been sitting at my friend Sally’s house for the past six weeks. It was real soupy out - sun blasting, the humidity about 142% - one of those days where you felt like you were inside a dog’s mouth, ready to pass out. I get odd glances a lot here. My Chinese teacher told me when the locals stare, it’s out of curio...I am a ...

Wild Wild East: May 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 06, 2008. Norm and I at the Qingdao Naval Museum. The desperation of the homeless here is startling. I realize there is a wide income gap in America, but it must be wider in China. Yesterday, I saw a guy driving a brand new Ferrari down an alley next to a man with no legs pushing him along on wheels. Monday, May 05, 2008. Sleeping" on the Boat. It feels odd to be watching the game “live” as it feels taped. The audio setup and video images interchange between high definition, ...A guy with a ...

Wild Wild East: November 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 26, 2008. Timing the Traffic Light. It's a little bit of a slow day here in the Wild East so I'll write about something fast. The traffic lights are timed here. Have I mentioned this before? Not only are they timed going from green to red, which is reasonable, but you can also see how much time you have going from red to green. Can you imagine that on Broad Street around midnight? Rachels Trip, Take 2. Shave for the first time in six weeks. Or, trim the beard every few days. Dinner wa...

Wild Wild East: November 2007
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. And now for a word on the Shanghai Public Transit system (born in 1995). “Impressive” comes to mind. All train cars are connected with open corridors instead of closed-off doors like the subway cars in Philly or the El cars in Chicago. I think this allows more space for more people, which is imperative here. Beats me, buddy. But let me know if you find out.” It doesn’t seem like many take pride in their work or maybe it’s just me. In any case…. Monday, November 26, 2007. Instea...

Wild Wild East: September 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. Saturday in the Park. Wednesday, September 24, 2008. I went on a picnic last Saturday with my colleagues and students and am getting ready to post some pictures from the day. Yes, I see the sweat stains on the birds hat and no, my washer is not broken. But this is a special hat. You know those hats that light-up along the borders of the logo? The ones you would never wear around South Philly? My second trip into China with a girl named Rachel. This Rachel and I met three yea...

Wild Wild East: July 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 31, 2008. Sorry I have not been updating the blog more frequently. I was doing pretty good there for awhile, but then I switched apartments and the new place doesn't have an internet connection. In the near future, I'm going to post some pics of Suzhou, the creamsicle bike, and the apartments in Shanghai. Ps - the answer was the American Consulate. I just thought it was ironic. I had seen our consulate many times, but I never noticed what was 40 feet away. Saturday, July 19, 2008. Typhoon ...

Wild Wild East: Owls vs. Wildcats
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2009/12/owls-vs-wildcats.html
Tuesday, December 15, 2009. Owls vs. Wildcats. Yesterday held a rare treat for me as I got to attend a Big 5 basketball game for the first time in several years. The results were outstanding. North Philly's Finest knocked off the Main Line's Finest in a Philly Hoops Classic. After the Owls fell behind by 12 in the first half, I was beginning to think they were outmanned by the Wildcats. But Temple hung in there and hit some big shots at the end of the second half to keep the game within reach. The Wildca...

Wild Wild East: January 2008
http://wildeast601.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. Identity, Supremacy, Ultimatum. Have you seen any of the Jason Bourne movies? I prepared myself as best I could for the culture shock that was China, but I must admit that I was not quite ready for the quality of the Bourne trilogy. The films are outstanding, even more so when you view them as non-fiction documentaries like I do. The guy is flat-out impressive. Wednesday, January 23, 2008. 1 This is my first time seriously studying a foreign language with the goal of eventually ...
