					<description>I was always wondering why you resigned. When I read your letter of resignation, it really summed things up in my brain, and you never told us about the religion factoring into your resignation.</description>

					<description>RC's are the original Christians? I think perhaps you need to check up on your history a little more.. Perhaps that of the split between the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox church.</description>

					<description>i agree with Tracy.
if you live in a foreign country, try to adapt to the country instead of using your own things.it is not working
btw, about the discrimination, think about yourself. rethink about your words you used there. are you not discriminating the culture there?
did you not learn to respect other people in America? it is absolutely none of your business to for them to have long nails.

I am a Chinese, but I haven't seen any of the taxi driver having long nails. 

Do you know why many taxi drivers do not want foreign passenger?Because they had experience of having foreign customers used the taxi and left without paying for it.

As Tracy said it is hard to make a living in China, maybe you would not understand because even if you are in China, you are living in a different group. they can not afford the customer using the taxi and not paying for it.  Before complaining, think whether you have done anything wrong.

Plus, when you are living in China, i suggest you to learn to respect people, learn to adapt into the local culture,  do not bring your America to this country. It is not working. 

Learn to appreciate good things happen in your journal and review the way you do things too. You will find this experience will be more pleasant! 
Otherwise people are very likely to think this American is not even able to survive in China in such a normal situation</description>

					<description>Well, we also live in fear of God, if you read the testament Revelations in the New testament of the Christian Bible, you'll see, some day the Judgment will come (I'm not a religious zealot). Try out the books Tribulation Force, a great read.</description>

					<description>Hey, Mr.Gresko we all miss you, and a few of us wanted me to ask you to reply to our messages more often (flip of the coin) and we all miss you. We all like your teaching style better, (note : not in an insulting way to Ms.Kao) and well, be seeing you.</description>

					<description>English class and just school basically has been so messed up these days...
Everyone wishes that you and Mr. Gottheiner didn't leave...
Peggy, Jen, and I actually went to see Dr. Han about Ms. Kao and her style of teaching today..!! 
It didn't work though...
All he said was &quot;Uh Huh&quot;...and that he's talk to Ms. Kao...
But we doubt that he will...
And he was quite mean to Peggy...
AND, Half the class has gone to Mr. Kao just because of Ms. Kao...~.~
MISS YOU!!!</description>

					<description>Thanks for the comment Koko!  Of course we’ll be able to stay in touch – the world is so small these days.  Long boring blog posts, message boards, chat – I’ll still be able to talk to you in some way shape or form if you want.

And Sherri, of course you’re a mature young woman.  You know that deep down inside already I think. :D

You girls rock.</description>
