On my way to China!

---

I am off to live in China for a year.

I would normally say 'the time has FINALLY come for me to take off' but, unlike all of my other trips in which I always feel like I am waiting and waiting, this one came up reallllly fast!

My flights were booked 4 days before leaving and the schedule is not pretty:
Halifax to Toronto
Toronto to Vancouver (pick up my passport)
Vancouver to Narita, Japan (overnight in Narita)
Narita to Dalian, China
Dalian to Taiyuan
Taiyuan to Chongqing

I will teach a 3 week summer ESL course in the Yongchuan District of Chongqing and then go to Hong Kong to get a work visa and then back to Dalian where I will be an ESL teacher at an international school.

I hope that this blog will help keep friends and family updated on my life in China (without filling up your inbox!) and potentially give others a glimpse of what life in China is like for an expat. Maybe it will even help prepare any potential visitors coming my way on what to expect in China...
