#Tuberculosis Outbreak
26 MarYay! Not! 4 students at my University have been confirmed to have #tb π· We’ve had an outbreak before and it isn’t pretty. 20,000 students and more teachers have to be tested and checked. π±
#Diseases like this aren’t uncommon in some countries still. We’ve now had #Cholera, TB, and some other issues in the 3 years I’ve lived abroad.
So if you #travel or #studyabroad or #teach internationally, be careful. Wash your handsπ, wear the #masks π·, Avoid coughing or sneezing people π. Only eat food you’ve seen cleaned or well-cooked foodπ΄. Drink bottled or boiled water β. Wash any dishes in boiling water, even at restaurants where dishes come wrapped! Sleep, take your vitamins, and drink orange juice!

#Chinese Garden
24 Mar
Wanna climb the pagoda? π The beautiful sight greeted me on the way to classes. It’s a lovely pagoda up on the hill and part of a park in the middle of our campus. Β I love all the #colors!
**Just don’t go up there at night. π Β It’s pretty much destined to live as a kind of ‘kissing kastle’ sort of place at night. Β When all the students have 7 other kids in their rooms, couples find privacy here π

As Clouds float like works of art;Β
Stars shoot with grief at heart.
Across the Milky Way the Cowherd meets the Maid.
When autumnβs Golden Wind embraces Dew of Jade
All the love scenes on earth, however many, fade.
Their tender love flows like a stream;Β
This happy date seems but a dream.
Can they bear a separate homeward way?
If love between both sides can last for aye,
Why need they stay together night and day?
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
In a magical world in a century so long ago it has faded into dream and myth, there lived a tragic, poor, lonely manΒ named Niu Lang. Most of his family had all died several years before, and those who remained had thrown him out on the street. So to stay alive, he found a small job taking care of some cows. Β
