Thank you for forwarding this! :)
At the moment it is quite hectic here to get all the items packed together, and making a new log for this ship is one thing to do, but it is postponed constantly...

It is a pleasure Hans. There has been quite some interest here in the Fluit, so I just thought I would update things a bit. I can well imagine, that you must be a busy man at the moment - almost like an expecting father! :)

After I looked at the build log some time ago I said “Definitely above my skill set”

Ron, I think that when one looks at the ship, the planking appears very daunting. But remember that two models have already been built, and knowing Hans the way I do, he has checks and balances built into the build all along the way to create a doable build. Like with so many things in life, once you start something and immerse yourself in the process, answers start jumping out at you. So, don't sell yourself short - you won't know what you are capable of unless you try. :)

Best wishes on your new venture today
 
Thank you very much Ron. I have actually finished my first day of teaching and it went very well. The students are impeccably behaved and a pleasure to work with - and those three boys - they are strong indeed! :)
 
Oh and here is another perk of work that you might find interesting.

My lunch today - fish with vermicelli, spinach, chicken and noodle, rice and a bowl of soup - available at 6 RMB - less than one USD! I could finish about half of that and I had more than enough!

Wow, the HS hours here are 8:30 to 14:00, MTTF, Wednesdays classes are abbreviated between 8:30 and 12:00. Me thinks that you're schedule would cause tremendous upheaval if implemented here.

I am glad to here that your classes are going well, overhere in the Netherlands, there would also be a civilwar if those teaching hours where to be implemented.
Oh and by the way, if my spellingserrors are to large, please correct me, i might learn something aswell

That looks delicious Heinrich. Do I see a fork and no chop-sticks?

I am sure it will cause an upheaval in the majority of western countries. :)

The lunch is great Peter. It's good, nutritious food and the quantity is simply too much. My friend, if my written Dutch can be half as good as your English, I will be a happy man - so no worries.

Well-spotted Peter! Thumbsup Because it is an international school, they provide forks as well. So your choice is between chopsticks, forks and spoons. :) I am very proficient with the chopsticks, but there are just certain food types with which it makes no sense :).
