First Day of Class

I'm finally teaching my own class now. Of course it's higher levels so the students are really good. We had a rocky start but after the following questions were answered, we settled into the traditional teacher/student roles.

The most common questions I get in America vs China:

In the US:
1. Where are you from?
2. Are you Mormon?
3. Have you ever been to Dallas, Texas?
4. Why did your parents name you Dallas?

In China:
1. Where are you from?
2. Where were you born?
3. Why do you look [insert Chinese, Japanese, or Korean]?
4. Do you speak Chinese? Why not?
