Countdown continues

Well, only 4 more days until I leave from Klamath Falls to Portland, then on to Tokyo and finally arrive in Shanghai. I leave on Feb. 29th at 7:15 am and arrive at my destination at 8:35 pm on March 1st. Flight time is 15.5 hours.

I will be teaching two classes. The first is what they call Interchangeability & Measurement Technology. We callit here (I hope it is the same class) Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. At least those are the notes that I am borrowing from a fellow colleague. The other class is Materials Engineering. I hope to show some videos to the Chinese students. One is from a "Made in America" set. An example can be seen at:

John Ratzenberger from Cheers is the narrator. I wonder if the students will see the humor in this!
