Song Way

The Houston bridge people give us a wonderful drive around Houston. Although I’ve been traveling around this city with friends before, it’s still a valuable experience in that I can talk with international students from all over the world again, which is always good, and the Americans will give us introduction that only natives can offer. The only regret have is that I still not good at spelling, pronouncing, remembering western names at all. I heard so many people tell me their names but remembered only a few, vaguely. Maybe it’s time that I consider some serious practice on this.

At lunch time we were carried to a large house near Rice Univ. We received a warm welcome and were offered unlimited free food. Well, at least far beyond the limit of my belly. Also we had games and prizes.

An American Tray(Did I spell your name right, man?) drove me and Lei Wang to HCC. During the drive we had a little talk about the belief of Christian. Well, as always I hold my own notion for “God”. Later Tray told us a short story about his life. Again, this American’s life is related to China. He has studied Chinese 7 years ago in Zhejiang Univ.. I think his life must have changed a lot in those 7 years. But I think the biggest and best change is his 3 lovely kids. He is working to promote international friendship, especially friendship between Americans and Chinese, like Paul in Dumble, and so many other Americans. It’s good to know them, and I wish all of them good luck.

Paul sent me an email again, saying that he has passed the my teacher’s certification test and is now qualified to find a job. I feel so happy for him. Also, as our English teacher, he recommended to us this website: http://www.china.nafsa.org. Here I recommend it to all the Chinese abroad for study.

I had a good night at HCC. In the welcome party they really make us new comers feel like home.
