I thought it was important to reintroduce my team, since they make regular appearances on this blog and are the best companions a girl could ask for in rural China.
You’ll see below the ladies of Bangmai; Yuting, Kaede, and myself (from left); supporting our big strong male teammate, Wang Yong. Our facial expressions in this photo exemplify our natural charm and liveliness. Kaede wasn’t ready, so this photo ends up exemplifying her natural confusion and boringness. Just kidding we’re all equally awesome.
In all seriousness, they’ve been an incredible support to me this semester. I can’t imagine having done this without them! I’ll miss them this vacation and can’t wait to restart our family meals and team workout video sessions.

Where are you going for vacation?!?!
I know where she’s going!
Still insisting on getting picked up? You could shuttle to Saturn — which sounds like the title of an SF paperback from the mid1950s.
