Looking for a Penpal?

I have an update coming very soon. In fact Desi is visiting me right now and I think I am going to let her have a crack at posting the next blog.

On to Biznez.
I am looking for penpals for my students. During the first class I asked my students to email me and tell me about themselves. Many spent a lot of time and effort carefully writing to me. I have personally responded to each email, but it has taken many many hours (days) to do so.
It would be cool if they could have a semi-regular correspondence with people in another country. Many Chinese idolize American movies and music. They are very curious about our culture and people.

If you would like to be a penpal to one of my students please let me know. You can either post in the comments or email me at shawndavidmiller@gmail.com
Since I have 120 students, if you would be willing to have more than one penpal let me know.

Also if anyone knows any teachers who would like for their students to have correspondence with foreign students (At least middle school aged students) please let them know about this opportunity.

I am positive that my students would be stoked to have a chance to make a foreign friend living in the good ole' USA.

Yes, I am looking for a penpal. Preferably AMERICAN, 30ISH, DARK hair, possibly RELATED to me. Let me know if you see any big guys in China matching the description, I seem to have lost mine!
