So, Sunday night we met a student named Li Fang and even had dinner with him. We went to a little bit fancier place than the eateries around campus. We don't know what he told them but they brought us up the third floor into a private room and were they disappointed when we had a simple meal!!!! Then yesterday he texted Paul to ask him to play basketball. Paul said he'd like to but needed basketball shoes. Li Fang took him to a sports store around the corner and Paul came back with white and red high-tops.
Before the start of the game, the head of the dept.had Emily call to say he was coming to play also and would bring some guys. Mind you they are all in their twenties and maybe thirties!
Well, my husband, Cool Hand Luke, played fabulously.
So did the boss- the head of the dept. in the yellow shirt. The player in red in the first photo is the 25 year old head foreign teacher named Amber who is now here for her third year. A large crowd gathered to check out this game.
Luckily darkness descended after a little more than an hour of play and everyone left in a good mood. Paul's already been invited to play again next week.
Nice sneakers Dad. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike. A Chinese student took me to get the shoes. It was hard to find a store with my size. But we were lucky and found a store two blocks from campus and the price was right.
ReplyDeletePaul, enlighten your teammates about Billy's Boys. Did you bring the vintage shirt?
