I Love Paul King!

I love Paul King, for a number of reasons.
1) if you slur his name together like the Chineese do it sounds really neat *paulking*
2) he has done amazing things with his life
*He founded a Foreign Language School
*He drove school buses
*He drove tour buses as a guide
*He currently (age about 58) works at 2 International Universities
*He has his operators licence for large commercial airliners
*He translates and negotiates business deals between the Americans and Chineesse
*He lived in India
*He speaks 3 Languages Fluently (English, Chineese, and whatever they speak in India)
*He INVENTED word processing for the Chineese
*He planted 2 Chineese churches
*He directs Language exchange programs for mainland China
*He has a PHD in linguistics
*He counciled the mayor of Shangliehi (mainland China) on how to modernize his village
*He was President of his High School class
*He was editor of his High School paper
*He plans of publishing his journals about his adventures in the coming years (be waiting)
This may seem like an outragous list but I must just say that all the information above was provided by him to our seminar class. And the lucky thing is we get to go again tomorrow from 8am to 5pm! I can't wait to hear about more of his accomplishments. You must agree that he is AMAZING!

3) He is so kind and grandfather-ish
4) He teaches English in Mainland China

Let's hear it for Paul King!
