 Moving on
              We have left Beijing. We took a bullet train to Jinan, capital of Shandong Province.  It was in Shandong that Confucius, the Chinese sage, lived and taught.






               Our work here is the heart of this project.  We will be teaching English to college students and also to children in the public schools.
