I hope you can see the little spittle that is an important part of the No Spitting sign.
And if anyone knows what this other sign is supposed to mean, please tell me--I can't recognize the traditional characters, either (we study simplified, which are used in mainland China).

Somehow I managed to babble for 20 minutes using a powerpoint in Chinese, discussing the concept of "loosing face" as presented through the modern movie, 《一声叹息》"Sigh." It's really amazing how much we have all progressed--for the last film we viewed on Monday, we didn't even have to use English subtitles (the Chinese subtitles, however, were a necessity). On Thursday was our big CHINA NIGHT Performance, which I hope to post pictures of soon!
Weare about to get on a bus to go to the train station, which will take us to Xi'an (that one place with all the Terracotta warriors!). Then me and two friends depart on the travel adventure! So bear with me--hopefully I will make a post in Xi'an, I truly apologize for posting so infrequently!
