Peace Corps Assignment

John found out about were he'll be assigned in China:

"We got our site placements today. I will be in Luzhou, Sichuan Province, teaching at the Luzhou Vocational and Technical Institute and living in an old apartment right on the Yangtze River. I do not know much more than that, but I am extremely excited. Luzhou is southeast of Chengdu, very close to the border of Chongqing and Guizhou.

"I will be the first Peace Corps rep at this school. There will be one other Peace Corps person in Luzhou, at a different school -- his name is Phil and he is from outside Milwaukee. Of course, he is a Packers fan, but I think we will get along fine.

"Luzhou is a really cool old city with about 5 million people...Ashley and I have been placed close. She will be in downtown Chongqing, which is one of the biggest cities in the world. Pretty exciting."
