I am in the presence of a celebrity! I bow to you my honourable Zhu The thing is, you are so interesting, you have had such a full life already and still have many many many years ahead of you. You have lived more than most people could ever dream of living. And the really magical thing about you, is that you appreciate everything around you, and you have the most wonderful and warm way of sharing your experiences with your readers. I am so pleased that your and Aga’s paths crossed and she included you in her documentary.

Do you know the artist Shepard Fairey? He did the Obama poster, but he uses a lot of that propaganda imagery, specially from China. He is not very original sometimes, but some of his work is interesting.

That’s really great! I’m glad you enjoyed the experience too. Hope there will be some way to see it outside Canada.

@Agnes — Thank you! I still think I’m better behind the keyboard.

@Final_Transit — Aga is working on it, probably at the end of the year.

@Mardé — Thank you! As I said… end of the year I think.

@Tulsa Gentleman — You are so sweet! Each and every one of your comment keeps me going. And makes me want to stop by Tulsa

@barbara — It was a really unexpected opportunity, and I’m so happy I got to work with Aga, she is great!

@Khengsiong — It will be on a Canadian channel, so not sure… I’ll let you know.

@Adem — I’m used to hear myself because I often tape my students for oral practice. Seeing myself… not so much. I decided not to be self-conscious and I guess that’s the only way to do it!

What were you interviewed about? Sounds pretty cool!

I keep my Moo cards in a Chinese cigarette box

@Nigel — It should be ready at the end of the year.

@silverneurotic — I didn’t think I was going to be comfortable either, but Aga and Max were so sweet, I forgot the camera.

@Linguist-in-Waiting — I will! Due at the end of the year…

It’s funny, we are the same age exactly I think, and going through the same process I feel. Where to live, when to quit studying, what to do… Let’s keep in touch!

@DianeCA — I think Aga makes everybody comfortable! She is just so enthusiastic… she was born to be a good reporter!

@the writer — Nice! What was the interview about? Just curious…

@Bluefish — At the end of the year, it’s for OMNI TV.

@RennyBA — I actually thought of you and your networking theories a lot lately. I’ve been trying to seize every opportunity, and I live by your rules. So far, it’s been great!

@Guillermo — Gracias! Autograph are every day downtown Ottawa

@Lis of the North — The big Spider is a sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, real name is “maman”. There are severals around the world… one of my favorite place in Ottawa.

@Seb — The cigarette box was bought in China last summer. I keep everything in it BUT cigarettes It is an old propaganda poster printed on it… I love it!

@Seraphine — It did took more than 15 minutes, but only because I’m so talkative!

@Sidney — Maybe! It’s for a Canadian channel, but I will let you know.

@Gail at Large — I love Moo cards… You gave me this idea!

The documentary is for OMNI TV, it’s due at the end of the year.

@Angela May — Thank you!

Hey, that’s so exciting! Let us know where we can watch it! I’m sure it will be more than 15 minutes, even after editing…

I’m hoping to make a trip to Ottawa next month, but I’m running out of weekends to go, it might end up being July. Will contact you in advance in case you decide to take off again!
