1,000

I was looking at my google analytic tools for this blog the other day and I realized that I had passed 1,000 hits. I know there are some websites that get a million hits a day but I'm pretty damn happy with 1,000. Doing this blog has been a lot of fun for me, even more so than I thought it would. I wasn't really sure when I started if I would have enough to say or enough to make it interesting, but I'm really happy with how its turned out so far. From the ads I put on the site I've some how managed to make about $44, which isn't much in the grand scheme of things I guess, but it's just nice to see. In China it's pretty quite on campus these days as a vast majority of the kids have gone home of the holiday. I noticed that in China you seem to see almost no students who live very far from where they go to school. About 80% of my students seem to be from Changzhou or some city really close by, and even the ones that are from further away still tend to be no more then a few hours from home. The national day is actually tomorrow so I think they'll be fireworks here in town, actually there are fireworks pretty constantly but maybe they'll be more. I e-mailed the Chabad Jewish center in Shanghai asking about Yom Kippur but I haven't heard back from them yet. I'd be curious to see exactly how people in China celebrate the holidays.
