What an amazing experience - already! We met Yuchen at the University of California Cooperative Extension program. He traveled from Ji'An City, China by train to Beijing (a 19-hour ride!) - then flew from Beijing to San Francisco (11 hours) non-stop. He and the other 5 delegates, plus their adult chaperone (Jane) arrived in Fairfield at 3:30 PM. All were excited and it was an eventful first hour.
We brought Yuchen home and visited with him. He speaks excellent English, having taken an English class for over 6 years - and our communication has been a great learning experience. Clarisse and Alexann seem to be quite at ease talking with Yuchen - and they've been conversing through the evening.
We all certainly have one language in common: BASKETBALL!! Yuchen is quite good - although he is humble to say so - and he played a couple of games with Rob and the girls tonight.
Much more to share in the days ahead......
Cheers!
Yuchen (Ken) Jiang, the other students of the delegation and their chaperone (Jane)
