From Seth’s email to his friends…<\/p>\n

“I am still here in Shanghai China. I am currently teaching English for Wall Street English, which has its headquarters in Baltimore. I have helped teach the students some real ‘American’ English, which makes it fun for me.<\/p>\n

I have made a great deal of friends in my travels here in China and Asia.<\/p>\n

There has been a devastating Earthquake here in China, of which I am sure you know. I have not been affected directly, but millions of people have. Everyday I turn on the TV and realize just how lucky I am to have the life I have. Many of my Chinese friends have family or other friends there, which is making it a tough time for them, and me as well. It wasn’t that long ago that I was in Sichuan on vacation climbing mountains and visiting the pandas, but now a great deal of that area has been destroyed. I am, for the most part, speechless when I see the photos of the aftermath.”<\/p>\n
