In just a few days, I’m going to be jumping into a new world adventure. And this time, I’ll be a small fish in a very big pond. More accurately, I’ll be a very American fish in a very Chinese pond.
Being a foreigner in such a massively homogeneous population will certainly come with its fair share of cultural bumps and bruises. And I’ll be sharing all the stories along the way… the good, the bad, and the ugly of being an American in the middle of 1.3 billion Chinese people.
I’ve secured a job teaching English to kindergarten and elementary students in the city of Tianjin. It’s about 30 minutes outside of Beijing in the northeast part of the country. Gary and I have an apartment ready and our bags packed.
So check back and see what 2012 has in store. From the looks of it so far, it’s going to be a good one.
