Good Bye to Xi’an

Images from Xian…I am now back in Xian at the Cross-Cultural Solutions home base where the heat works wonderfully, there is plenty of hot water, and the food is delicious and healthy. It is time for me to leave the program and Xian and to travel on my own for a few days.

talking with a young woman and her 6-year-old son, "the teacher gives my son too much homework, I think. My son needs time to play so we come here to the park. Many parents think the teacher gives too much homework, but no one says anything to the teacher."

I treasure this beautiful city and people of Xian. My heart has been deeply touched by the people here. Jerome, the director of the Cross-Cultural Solutions program in Xian is brilliant, kind, generous and magnificent. I feel so grateful and blessed to have experienced this city so deeply.
