ANOTHER Great Term With Buckland!!!

I'm happy to type this today from the school I'm currently teaching at: Gaoxin International Middle School here in Ankang, Shaanxi Province!
I have taught one term at a middle school in Shaoyang, Hunan Province, two terms at a middle school in Pucheng, Shaanxi Province, two terms at a middle school in Weinan, Shaanxi Province and now I am teaching here and as outstanding as I've found ALL the schools to be, I think that this one is the best! It's hard to believe that I'm just about halfway through the term now--it seems like it was just yesterday that my FAO Carey was picking me up at the Ankang Bus Station after Frank had seen me off at the South Bus Station in Xi' an!
I live on the school grounds in a large apartment that has its own computer sustem so I can have access to the 'Net, we have a convenience store in the same building and there is a local bus running nearby that can transport you into Ankang City and back here for 1 Yuan (RMB) apiece so that's not a worry. either.
Carey is a most attentive FAO, the local Chinese teachers couldn't be any kinder or supportive and these have got to be some of the best students that I've taught in Chung Kuo;-)
I am having a great time here and hope that I can come back here NEXT term as well!
