I'm Famous!

Check out this link. One of my former students wrote a column about... me. And how awesome I am. Or, funny. Or exuberant. Or some such nonsensical thing. It was published in yesterday's Beijing Youth Daily, which is a proper newspaper with a fairly sizable circulation. One of my other students gave me a copy of it this morning. Otherwise, I never would have known. If you use Google Translate, you'll get an idea of what's being said, but it should also provide hours of Chinglish amusement. Enjoy! http://bjyouth.ynet.com/3.1/1203/11/6873707.html
