What a day

Things are not going smooth all day long!

I went to a lunch meeting to learn Mandarin, where I introduced myself in 祖國's language. And you know what happened? I need a Cantonese-speaking guy to translate what I said... And apparently the Americans were speaking a lot better than me.

Here's a very good way to learn Mandarin for free: http://chinesepod.com/

And then in the fellowship the picture was taken badly. SIGH

But it was a nice surprise to me to receive those awards. Thanks for the thoughtfulness!
