a few weeks ago a huge billboard went up outside our foreign studies school. emblazoned on it were pictures of all foreign teachers working our teaching charms. extremely embarrassing. this just fuelled the existing theory that us foreigners are here mostly for our "token foreigner status". we are trophies to be used and paraded around. anyway, of all the foreigners i feel like one of the least paraded, because of my semi-asian appearance, which i guess is a small consolation.
the above picture shows jill, a chinese english-speaking assistant at the school, posing in front of the billboard, ready to hand out some flyers advertising the school (again, on the flyers they are pictures of us). you can see andrew and me in the top middle, and top right hand corner of the billboard.

Haha, that is gold. How does Andy feel as the face of China's newly capitalist marketing culture?
