		<description>Lili - it&#039;s still a bit cold to be hanging around the Weiming Hu at night. Or during the day, for that metter. And then in summer it gets so crowded; I&#039;m thinking that there have to be other, quieter spots than that. I&#039;d have thought Houhai would be one, but now it&#039;s surrounded by bars, adding a touch of that Sanlitunr class.</description>

		<description>SK - the trick with Chinese is always knowing the meaning of a character in a certain context, not just knowing the character. That&#039;s especially true with old stuff, where familiar words take on unfamiliar meanings.
Zhuangzi is pretty clear, I think; it&#039;s still written in &lt;i&gt;guwen&lt;/i&gt;, but it&#039;s easy enough to read. Laozi, on the other hand, kicks my ass.

Matt - hey, what&#039;s up? How&#039;s things at Temple these days?</description>

Thanks for letting us stay so long with you this past week. *MWAH*</description>

		<description>Hey Brendan.
  Long-time reader, first time commenter...
Just wanted to say that I find your blog to be probably the most enjoyable of the China-blogging &quot;scene&quot;.  Your love of what your doing really comes through in your posts and for other &quot;sinologues&quot; is a welcome voice.
Anyway
    What&#039;s the reading level of the laozi, zhuangzi reader?  E.g. If I can read a newspaper can I tackle that bad boy? And where does the &quot;guided readings&quot; part come in.  Is it original text, followed by explanatory essay?

Good luck in Beida.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I did the hyperactive kid thing...&lt;/i&gt;

Some bite was taken away today by one of our heads publically praising me for my teaching skills. I guess this world needs people who can handle them.</description>
