介绍新的tufareast

Welcome to the new tufareast.  Whether you are migrating here from xanga or have just met me, let me introduce you to the new site: purpose and features.

Purpose: Cultural and spiritual exchange.  Here’s where I’m going to pass on the insights and sounds of interesting, inspiring and international experiences.  It’s the best way to keep in touch with family, friends and netizens in America and China.  The new tufareast is a two way street, so everyone can comment.

Features: I hope to highlight future stories with video as well as pictures (See video page).  Also, articles can be found by month, category or keyword search (See sidebar).  The bloglog section of the sidebar contains useful web resources for learning more about China. 

A comment on commenting: When posting comments on the new tufareast, everyone only needs to fill-in their name and e-mail address.  However, your e-mail address will not be seen on the site.

Chinese: The Chinese characters, 走遍世界 (zuo3 bian4 shi4 jie4), mean “go around the world.”  I hope that universal commenting and video clips will make tufareast evolve into a more vivid exchange experience for Americans and Chinese.

The only thing left is a thrilling adventure article.  On March 10, I will escort a team of DBU faculty and staff to Seoul, South Korea, and Beijing and Shanghai, China.  It’s finally time to start using that Mandarin.  I’m going to bring back a fresh impression of 韩国 (han2 guo2), South Korea, and a Beijing come back story. 

See you soon!
