Internet is kinda tough out here so I am posting my experiences and drawings on Instagram while I travel in China.
Follow me to stay updated.
Here are a few recent ones.

Love being in the classroom vicariously through your adventures, Danny. I had a principal who used to say that if the pupils were smiling, then the teacher was doing their job well. Congratulations.

Great teaching techniques, Danny. You’re a natural! Having the kids do their faces on paper surrounding the room provided motivation to get going seeing their peers “do It.” In addition, they get ideas from each other as they draw.
I was sad to see these sketches of yours only because I was not a sketcher when we visited China and obviously missed a great opportunity. But seeing yours also evoked some great memories! Thanks.
