Star Struck in Xian
No he isn’t a famous sports star, or movie star or singer, but I was still star-struck. He might wanna-be a star but right now Ron is a just another fellow English teacher working in Fuzhou, China but he is also someone with lots of talent. His name is Ron Sims and has a series of video podcasts about living and traveling in China. The weird thing is that I had already recommended his video podcasts on my May 27th blog. I watch Ron faithfully and am grateful every time he puts a new one online. Try them out they are funny and a surprising insight on living in China. You can download them from iTunes the 'illworld: China' or from his web site www.rsims2.com
Anyway back to ME. I saw Ron in line going into the Terra Cotta Warriors, so I excused myself from our travel group and ran over and made a fool of myself gushing compliments and saying little else. You can tell by the idiotic grin on my face that I gave the impression of not being very bright. I did have just enough presence of mind to get my friends to take a picture of us. Meeting him was almost as good as the Terra Cotta Warriors—well maybe not but pretty darn close. Thanks Ron and keep making your video
