Today I finally bought the tickets for my flight to China... That makes it official, I will soon be flying to China to teach English. I am super excited but the closer I get to China the more bored I get here at home waiting to go. I have been hanging out with one of my old high school friends and that helps pass the time. Also every Tuesday I play basketball at the church with my dad's friends. It is fun but they foul me so much that my back is starting to hurt. After buying the tickets this morning I have spent the rest of the day reading blogs and looking at pictures of the area where I will hopefully be teaching.
My first choice is to teach in Yangshou which is a city nestled in the karst topography of southern China. I included a few pictures I found on Google here. Hopefully I will soon have pictures of my own to put on here. I leave for China in early August which means I have got just about a month and a half to fully prepare myself. I've got a few more things to buy like a new camera and a new hiking backpack (this area of China is famous for hiking) as well as some professional teacher-type clothing. Charge it up!

Oh, lemme call the waaahmbulance for your back. :-)
ReplyDeleteWaaahmbulance doesn't really translate in writing nicely. Well, I'm sure you get it. haha.
I'm excited for you! I can't wait to hear back from EPIK. Soooooo nervous! You should tell your Elon friends about your blog so I don't look lame as the only person following. Seriously.
If you ended up in Yangshou you should go to Vietnam, where the american dollar can buy you castles made of golden chocolates. The sights are pretty cool too.
