My daughter's in China

[Hywaywolf]

This doesn't have anything to do with BFRPG, but my 18 yo daughter just arrived in China to teach conversational English to preschoolers for the next 13 months. I am so proud of her. Actually, I can make this post BFRPG compliant by stating that she is listed as a playtester on the BFRPG manual.

This is her blog if anyone is interested http://natorsinchina.tumblr.com/

Lets hope she stays safe and has a wonderful time over there. The way she blogged about the smog it sounds like you could cut a chunk of it out of the air and put it between two buns to call it a burger. Lol.

I read a blog of a girl that worked for the same company over there who was drawing pictures of the sun with all the other Chinese girls and they laughed at her for drawing the sun yellow. They all drew it as red because thats how they almost always saw it. The only time the sky is blue and the sun shining bright is a day or two immediately after a big rain.

Give a new meaning to the Empire of the Red Sun.

haha, true, but I don't think they had quite as many coal fired electric plants when that term first originated

<,< >,>

Wrong country; Japan, whose name means "the land where the sun is born" is the Rising Sun. China, according to one of the Japanese Emperors, is "the land where the sun sets/dies". So, yeah.

yup. Rising sun is japan but i thought china had a red sun emblem. I could be so wrong that any librian would slap me with a hard backed book

The joke kinda flew over my head. You seen, China did once fly the five toed imperial dragon revering a red sun. But that was before the Industrial revolution took hold in China.

Cool! Sounds like a great adventure for her.

I have an old friend who did that for a bit, before moving to Japan. It should be an adventure.

Big thumbs up from over here. Awesome.
