We're eating Danish Pasty and Croissant at an Italian Restaurant!!  (waiting for our main course)



Jenny and her husband are across the table from each other, closest to us.  He used to work for Shanghai Daily and Jenny worked her self silly last term to put on a class, a theater class - Antigone!!!  Chinese students, in English, performing Antigone!  WOW~!  Adam and Judy are the next two across from each other (English teachers), Jane just received a phone call and is behind standing up.  Brad is at the end - he is the Associate Dean for the English Language department at SILC.  His mother is on his right - next to ME!

YES, quite normal for Chinese passersby to come and look over our table, what we are eating, how we are talking and just to observe!

Oh, as an aside - the news today in China View (Xinhua News - the Chinese official news agency) says that there are 565 MILLION cell phone users in China.  Ummm, that's almost half the 1.3 billion people, up 9.46 million in February!  Now there's some revenue!
