For the Lobes, the less traveled road lead them to China: “A place is only as good as the people you know in it. It's the people that make the place.”- Pittacus Lore

It has been over a month since the last time I wrote. A lot has been going on but what I want to write about today is the people that we have been in contact with. The people that we have interacted with has been detrimental living here. These people have made a difference to our lives and made our transition a bit easier here in China.

Every time we go to the market we interact with the vendors. They remember us and we remember them from Mushroom gal to the apple guy. If we are having a difficult time with the language, we have these amazing staff members that can speak for us, order things for us on line both professional as well as personal (we got our Halloween costumes china online shopping site) and if we are homesick or need a break and need to nourish our mental health, our mentors, Mich and Joseph as well as other teachers, come to the rescue. And then there are these amazing students of ours who thirst for knowledge and work hard for their education which makes us better teachers. We are truly pleased where we are mentally, socially, physically and emotionally. This could not be possible without the "people, that make this place".
