While perusing the textbook that I will be using in the next to years here in the Cho, I was pleasantly surprised to come across some familiar faces. That's right! No longer does an appearance on Sesame Street signify your superior celebrity status. Mongolian English Textbooks are the new measure of success. Some of my personal favorites were there: Jackie Chan, Yoko Ono, Bob Dylan, Mozart. There were some reminders of famous folks in their prime: Black Michael Jackson, Michael J. Fox, Sylvester Stallone. There was my old roomie Lauren's favorite: David Bowie. There was the family's pet dog Bullet's favorite: Lassie. There were even my sister Meredith's favorites: ET (^_~), and Mary-Kate & Ashley Olson (called the world's most famous teenagers).

In addition to having a veritable cornucopia of characters, the language used is also rather hilarious.

The nerves I had about teaching are currently gone in light of the fact that I get to teach from this textbook, and hear my students compare Dolly Parton and Eddie Murphy.
