On The Road Again

4/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Elizabeth Rose (John Looney Intern 2012-2013) is now teaching in Jinhua, China, a few hours from Shanghai.  If you read our February Blog you will see this is her fifth international experience teaching English.  She takes her conflict resolution techniques with her.

Elizabeth's seven students are equivalent to USA seniors in high-school.  Although she is learning beginning Chinese,  she teaches all day in English.  Sophia is her Teachers Aid who lives with Elizabeth in an apartment furnished by the school.

The following sentences are taken from her blog, lizrosechina.tumblr.com.  Subjects include getting adjusted, food, exercise and sights.

I made my first homemade dish in my furnished apartment kitchen with an initial $2 purchase of vegetables: cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, onion, potatoes;  all cooked together.

My first Saturday began with a short walk through Jinhua Oldtown.  In a street market I found biscuits, local specialty filled with either sweet things or savory meats; and flaky like pie.

The big downtown mall had a Starbucks coffee house!  (Are they everywhere?)

I ruined the bottom of my sweat pants walking on them in the rain during my first few days.  I found a local seamstress to make them into capris. I heard this woman could do anything I requested.  She did such a beautiful job on the capris AND mended my shirt seams, all for $1 because I am a teacher here.

One beautiful Spring- like day I borrowed my neighbor's mountain bike and road North 3.5 miles. Then I walked 2000 steps up to a mountain top to view farming communities below.  What a view and what a trek back.

After each course session on this Website you will find "Application".  At the bottom of this page push Session 11;  at the bottom you can read testimony by Elizabeth called "On Simple Living."  Her pondering questions here may have helped her adjust so well to her new environment.
