And the winner is...
...us! We were placed at the Longnan Teachers College in Cheng Xian, Gansu. Here is a map of Gansu, if you would like to see where we will be. For those of you out there who have Google Earth, here are the coordinates: 33 44' 28"N, 105 43' 14"E. It is at the southern edge of Gansu near where Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan all meet.
We had a big ceremony and played "flower and drum" to determine who would find out their sites first. Shell and I were among the very first to be named. We were told that our apartment is very nice and is on the campus, which is in the middle of town. I have an address here but there is something odd about it so I will post it as soon as I get more information. We will leave via train on Saturday to check it out for a week.
It is a relief to finally find out. We celebrated by playing basketball at the university and we'll all get together on Friday too. Good times!

Knowing how well you play basketball Mr. Ross, I'm sure you showed them all up.
We won, but they are pretty darn good. We had a height and weight advantage but they play very fast. The game ended when one of our guys and one of theirs cracked heads. They both went down for the count. It is a bummer to stop that way.
I'm sure it was a big first fight from that point on, right?
