Some weeks are crazily intense, with all of us trying to catch each other up on stories of students asking questions that we were shocked by.  We call them Philip moments.  That was this past week.

And then there are weekends.

Today we had a seder dinner, which was awesome.

And ate the best goubarou (a pork dish) in Changchun... which is saying something, since that is a specialty.

And went grocery shopping.

And watched Les Miserables.

And hung out with a Chinese bro who's back for the weekend, catching each other up on the past few months, retelling old stories, and making ourselves laugh until we were nearly in hysterics.

I love my job.

Happy Easter, y'all.

Fun note:  The Chinese word for "Easter" is "fuhuojie" -- "return to life holiday".
