Do you follow Glimpses of Modern China ( \u79cb\u6d77\u68e0\u6c11\u570b\u53f2\u5730 <\/span><\/span><\/span>) on Facebook<\/a>? You should, since they post all sorts of interesting images and videos you can teach with. Or that pose interesting research questions.<\/p>\n

Did you know that China used to have different time zones? I\u00a0 did not<\/a>.<\/p>\n
