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.
No strenuous activities in the lift? Just what sort of activities can one do that are strenuous in a lift? No dirty comments required. My gutter mind has already thought of them, promise.
You’re right. She is. She found a piece of paint flaking off of the base board in the bedroom. She doesn’t like it when there are strings, chips, or things sticking out that aren’t supposed to. If she sees it, she’ll destroy it.
It more or less means don’t kiss me. It caught my attention because, well, look at the picture, and you’ll know why. Strange, strange city or country or both, I tell ya.
So who’s Joanna?
