There is a project to dam up the river in the works. Lueck will begin teaching in Spring 2000. She will be only the second Fulbright Lecturer at Jinan. The trip will open new roads for Lueck as an educator, but not all the roads will be paved. According to Lueck, along with a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, she will be issued mosquito netting.
Malaria is a constant danger in China.
Although new memories will be made, there are older ones that cannot be replaced. The old world culture impressed Lueck. She believes Chinese culture makes a person realize how new American culture is. With her schedule still full and her departure months away, she has just started thinking about what to take with her on the journey. I'll plan to bring some pictures and some music and my big pillow.
