It was Teddy's birthday today. We got him a cake and Dave and Ken sang happy birthday to him in Chinese. Birthdays aren't really such a big deal in China Teddy said that his parents didn't even say happy birthday to him. Our cake had "Teddy Got Back" written on it since for some reason, which he tried to explain but I still don't understand, his e-mail is teddyback@163.com. We hung around his office for a while and had some cake and talked with him and his assistant a student named Kerry. Afterwords Teddy sent me this text message, "Thanks for everything you did for me. This is the most surprising birthday I've ever had in my life. Teddy will come back in 100%." I'm not sure what the last sentence means but it was nice anyways. Ken also got him a poster of some Chinese pop singer he thinks is good looking. Here is a video of us surprising him:

I was wondering how many flights of stairs you were going to have to climb, singing the birthday song in Chinese over and over again. It sounds as if Teddy was very touched by the surprise, but he looked a little underwhelmed on the film. Or maybe he was so overcome with emotion that he seemed calm.....
that was really very sweet. he did seem touched.
boy, the emotion that teddy displays here is really...well..pretty much what one would expect!
