And besides Deep. do you really think I don't know that? I knew what I was getting myself into before I got here. I'm not stupid.....

Sorry, I missed that part. Sounds like fun though. However, my particular school is every bit as good as the people there thought it was.

Out of curiosity are your students children of prominent Government officials?

Never been to China. Sounds nice. I think I'll always prefer Japan, though.

Good to hear you're getting on well.

No idea whether it's true or pure balls (latter more likely than not), but it seemed...appropriate.

From what I can tell, none of them are. Jinling is a prominent school in Jiangsu Province, but not in the entire country.

Funniest thing I have read in a LONG time.

Man oh man I'm sure glad my students aren't like that......

Make sure you read all of them.  Trust me, you will never view Japanese culture in the same light again

P.S.  Speaking of which, I happened to just catch part of one of the Naruto episodes that have started showing on Toonami (and after watching it, I have absolutely no idea why so many people like it), and one of the characters in it actually used a kancho move on someone else.  Right down to the "thousand years of pain!" line.  I just couldn't believe it. Absolutely nuts.

Agreed, reading all of them is sort of mandatory after reading the first one.
Hilarious stuff

As for Naruto.. well the manga is better, but I like the anime too.
I haven't watched any of the episodes on Toonami (mainly because I don't like dubbing.)
I thought that particular Kancho scene was funny.
The first 14 episodes or so are more of an introduction, the pace picks up after that.

That site is great. Check out "Protecting the Merchandise" and "Negotiations with the Enemy."

How much longer are you going to stay in Nanjing?  I have not yet been to China but from what my parents told me (they had a trip there 4 years ago), it's a nice place to visit.  Oh well, I will visit the country in the future if I get a chance but I am not dare to wonder there by myself in the next 5 - 10 years.
