School

{Written on 30 June}
Scott gave me the tour today. And he gave me more information. Here’s a little bit as I’m sure you are curious (I know my Mom is.). They have 9, 500 students. Yes, there is a 9 at the front. It’s like a mini university! And it is expensive to attend. $1000 US per month per student. The campus is pretty big. I think Scott said they have 12 buildings. And they have all-purpose courts for b-ball, tennis, and volleyball. They also have a swimming pool. The volleyball team is excellent. Most of the players go on to play on the national team.

The name is Chung Shan Commercial & Industrial School. They have a vocational school and a comprehensive high school. So students are either learning a trade or working to attend college. Something interesting: the students have to clean up the school (sweep & mop) each day. I sure can’t imagine that in America! The students would flip. Here are a few pictures.
I'm trying to memorize these characters in case I ever get lost.
Steve is the director and Scott is the associate director for our office (called International Affairs). Steve is the one I met at the job fare and Scott is the one that answered all my questions before I signed the contract.
