Today I woke up bound and determined to get ahead on my grading before the weekend officially starts and to enjoy some American pleasures that I have resisted for so long here in the 'Jing'. I can only be talking about one thing...going to Starbucks to grade!
Yes, there are Starbucks in China...lots of them...and there is even one decently close to where I live. The only problem is that it is extremely expensive (o.k. it is probably only a little bit more expensive then in the states...but it seems like it is so much more expensive then the states because relative to China prices...Starbucks is ridiculous!). So I have held out...until today :-)
And it was...glorious! Oh the coffee was delicious...I ordered something like an Almond Cherry Latte...mmm (for about 37 RMB or something like that...which is a little more than 6). With coffee pumping through my veins I was able to get all my weekend grading done and catch up on my lesson planning for the week. Hmm...maybe I should come to Starbucks more often :-0
Zaijian,
Gary
