I am currently living in Shanghai with my husband and our evil Shiba Inu, Meili. Since I am currently unemployed, I have all the time in the world to explore this massive city and blog about my experiences.
I originally came to China in 2006 as an English teacher. During my one year stint, I taught mainly in two cities - Fuyang, located in the Zhejiang province, and Xiamen, located in the Fujian province. When my year was up, I returned to the good ole' US of A, but quickly realized that I hadn't gotten my fill of China. I returned in March of 2010.
During my second year in China, I worked in the Foreign Affairs office in Linyi, located in the Shandong province, assisting over 70 teachers - trying to make sure their experiences in China were good ones. That wasn't always the easiest task.
When my contract ended there, my husband and I decided to make the move to Shanghai because a great opportunity became available to him. And that is where we are now. God only knows where we will be in a year or two from now, but in the meantime, I'm going to enjoy our life here. Hopefully, you will, too.
Wow, I didn’t even know I had comments. Guess I need to get Phil to fix that for me. Meanwhile, I suppose I should get back to the whole blogging thing.
