I'm posting ahead now because soon I'll be away for my extended Spring vacation and unable to post pictures until I get back (which is the middle of February).These pictures are of a day when I had to teach a demonstration in Jingyuan County. Afterwards I had time for a brief look around the town.

My first class, a small group, in a beautiful, well-lit room, was for practice and observation only and in no way resembles the reality of actual teaching in China.

That list finished on 4th September and because my access here is a little more restricted,
