"Springtime" at YZU




The art students created a happening next to the walkway leading to the center of campus. The schizoid weather and bad air from Mainland China threatened to take it down last week-end, but still it survives, if in a somewhat beat-up state. I quite enjoyed being surprised by it on my morning walk to work. The landscapers have been working overtime to plant lillies and hydrangeas. The potted plants are in full bloom, thanks to the rainy, cool weather. I frankly am in need of sunshine on a regular basis.
The Kreilings came to my rescue last Monday when they arrived with love, hugs, and antibiotics. I had the honor of showing them my dorm room, my office, and the YZU campus before we walked to our local shopping center. Ch found new tennis shoes, but that's all we bought. Ch, A, and I just had to have the McChicken special at our local McDonald's, and K found his way to the local Starbuck's. C found sushi at Carrefour's, and we ended the day sitting at the outside tables before their 7 PM slow train back to the big city. I think we all had fun...they got to "travel" on their spring break to see where Gram hangs out, and I got to entertain my first guests to the campus.
