Meet T-Bag, Your New 外语老师

Prison Break is the most popular American television program in China. In addition to depicting the glamorous American prison system, it has also increased China's awareness of the proliferation of tattoos in the West.

A heavily-tattooed foreigner is very rare in China, and a heavily-tattooed foreign teacher is rarer still. And because nearly every student in China has seen Prison Break, I constantly hear murmurs of "Scofield!" as I walk past. I hear this almost as much as the ubiquitous “老外！“

But there is another nickname that been bestowed upon me, also thanks to Prison Break. And it has nothing to do with my tattoos.





Bummer, huh?
