| June 6, 2010: Landed in
Shanghai yesterday around 7:00 p.m. and then made the 3 hour trek to
Ningo Polytechnic College in Ningbo. This morning I took a walk
through the campus and mangaged to take a few pictures. We will
venture into town with students this afternoon. There is a doctoral
student from Beijing Normal University that is interested in the
American community college. She and I will meet this afternoon for
an interview. She is very excited, most of her knowledge regarding
community colleges is from the literature. |

June 7, 2010: The
conference started at 8:30 this morning. Dr. Ning and Sunday
Griffith presented at 9:45. They did a very nice job and the
presentation was well received. I presented after lunch at 2:00. It
seemed to go very well as I was given a great deal of positive
feedback. During the afternoon tea break I discussed the
presentation with a few Chinese scholars and then with a professor
from Tanzania and Fiji. Several others were waiting but we ran out
of time. I presented them with my business card and asked that they
email their questions. After the conference we went to a restaurant
for another Chinese feast. It was a wonderful dinner filled with
conversation and laughter. After dinner we went for a walk. The
students were out and about eating the local cuisine that was being
prepared roadside. It is 10:30 and I am ready for bed. We will meet
for breakfast at 6:40 in the morning. |

June 8, 2010: After breakfast we drove 1.5 hours to get on a boat to the Buddhist Resort on Poutou Island. It was an incredibly beautiful place with several temples and statues. The most impressive was the 110 ft. tall Goddess on the edge of the island. The entire journey was approximately 4 miles long. Our secondary guide's name was Annie. She is a student studying tourism at Ningbo Polytechnic. She and I worked on her English throughout the day. We had lunch at the Poutou Island Hotel, finished our tour, and then took a 70 minute boat ride back to Ningbo. After arriving back to the campus we were picked up by a driver to visit Ningbo City College of Vocational Technology on the other side of town. The president heard that I was visiting Ningbo and he is also interested in collaborations with American community colleges. We discussed several options over yet another Chinese feast. It was another wonderful day. It is now 10:00 and we are leaving Ningbo for Shanghai at 7:00 a.m. |
