At lunch I practiced my three advisees names that I learned last week and took on the new challenge of learning Bill's Chinese name. It is a tough one too: Joung (pronounced like "rong") Show Ing. His tones aren't too bad, it is up, down, flat. So you basically say his last name like you're surprised to see him, the middle word like you're angry, and then the last word like you have no emotion in your voice. It gets a little confusing.
The best part about Bill's name is the meaning though. His name literally translates into something like "Young Eagle". I think it's pretty awesome because now we have two birds at our table: the Young Eagle and the Number One Finch :)
