Instead of studying past/present tense progressive grammar in Chinese, I should have been studying go terms.  Duh...

Thank goodness I have another student here with me who can speak some English.  He's from Thailand.  I think his name is Car.  He's been here for 1.5 months, and is going to stay another 1.5 months.  He's been very helpful in translating whatever the teacher says to me. 

I played a game with the teacher yesterday.  I took 3 stones and lost by about 150 points.  Basically one half of the board was all white's.  I felt embarrassed.  I learned that I was playing a joseki that requires about 5-6 dan level reading skills.  Yeah, time to ditch that line next time.

I took a walk along the busy streets of Wuhan yesterday.  It felt a bit like old school Korea, with people walking everywhere, people selling goods on the streets.  I can't wait to try these weird looking street foods.
