Our Address

A very typical "Chinese picture" in one of our on campus

parks near the elementary school

We really are not sure how the mail system works here. Since our campus is a small city with perhaps 20,000 people living on it, there must be a full postal system. We do have a post office right next door to us and we have successfully sent letters and packages to the states. But we don't have a clue about how letters and bills get delivered to our neighbors - or us for that matter.

What we have noticed is "package dumps" near the south entrance to the campus. As best we can tell, the various delivery services bring packages there and then the "driver" gets on the phone and tells people to walk on over and get the package. At the new campus, we have seen a similar "package dump" just outside the east gate and it always has piles of packages for the students and lots of activity of sorting and picking up the packages.

A few of the other American teachers have had very interesting experiences getting, or not getting, things from home, so our wiban gave us an address she wants us to use. She says things need to come to her because the delivery guys don't speak English. So here is the address that should work for us, if you are so inclined. Just cut and paste and you can use the whole thing - BOTH the English and the Chinese version - IF YOU ONLY USE ONE, USE THE CHINESE ONE but do include our name and the numbers (so it actually gets to us) as well as "PRC CHINA" so the American post office knows how to get it out of America.
