I've been living and teaching in Zibo City, Shandong Province, for over a month now so I have some "catching up" blog posts to do. First, about Zibo City. Zibo is a crossroads of transportation in China and yet it's a bit off the beaten path for foreign visitors. Foreigners are rare here and in fact you will attract a fair bit of attention just walking down the street.
Zibo has an ancient history and was once the capital of the State of Qi. It also lays claim to being the originator of a game called Cuju, the precursor to modern football (soccer, that is.) Today, Zibo has a large industrial base.
I work at Zibo Vocational Institute, a state-owned institution with 30,000 students and three campuses. ZVI also hosts the Sino-American Language and Culture Center, where I also work.
