about this blog

 My name is Gus Tate. This is my second year in Guangzhou teaching conversational English and juggling to a group of high school students wearing white polo shirts and blue track pants.

I'm not an expert on China and this is not a serious "China blog". I write not for the public at large but for my family and friends back home and abroad. If you've stumbled here through some other means, then hey, I must be famous! Leave me a comment on any post if you want to get in touch with me. And if by chance you're reading this in blue track pants, congratulations! You have found me on the internet.
