I hope I can have a chance to experience the New Year in America or Europe in the future. The pictures of the western buildings and the atmosphere of the western festival attracts me a lot. However, I think the Chinese festival are also not bad. Although you have lived here for eight years, but the essence of the Chinese tradition needs to be discovered by heart, not only for you, but also for us, the Chinese youth. Wish you good luck in the new year. Wow, the western New Year is wonderful! I hope I can have a chance to experience the New Year in America or Europe in the future.

Does anyone still celebrate that way? We haven't had Christmas in the U.S. for 8 years now. Anyway, glad you liked my blog. I am hoping my students will visit as well. That's who I have directed my blog toward, thus the explanations in the text. Anyway, hope you also have a very warm, jolly Christmas and a Happy New Year. All the joys of the season to you and your family. Enjoy the warm weather in VN. We're freezing here in BJ. Yours, Maggie Hi JOhn,

It sums up just about what every good little girl and boy went through back in our generation. It seemed that the giving of the gifts on Christmas morning would never arrive. The clock ticked ever so slowly. We were made to sit around the Christmas Tree and one of Santa's little Helpers would give out each family members gift in turn. We weren't allowed to open any of our presents (normally a total of two or if we were really good, three) until all of the presents had been distributed. Then very slowly, without tearing the paper ( so we could use it for the following years present) open each present in turn as the assembled multitude would OOO and AHH. I do hope that you both have a Very Merry Christmas and A HAPPY, HEALTHY, HOLY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR in 2008. Best Regards john Hi Guys

I too, braved the wilds and tried my hand at teaching. Although I am not a teacher by profession (I have a Masters Degree in Scientific Intrument Engineering, a Degree in Economics and an Asociate Degree in Marketing), I am a native English speaker, born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. I went to Saigon, Vietnam in 1992 as an Engineer, but due to the communist regime, the job fell through, but because I was so rapped in the people, I decided to stay on in Saigon and taught University Level Economics and Marketing as well as General Spoken English for three years. I found that my Vietnamese students (whose ages ranged from 18 to 50+) had brains like enormous sponges, and most had photographic momories. I loved the Vietnamese people so much that I ended up marrying one. I have "sired" three boys as a result of the marriage, 8, 9 and 12 years and we try to go back for holidays every couple of years. I have a couple of other bloggers that I communicate with regularly in China. My email address is johnmarr218@yahoo.com.au I have exhausted my two typing fingers for the time being so I will send this message off to you now. Have a Great Day. Best Regards and Wishes to You Both john Dear Maggie ….. and John
