Here I go again...

About seven years ago, I thought it would be a great idea to spend a year or two teaching internationally. I worked for two years in Valencia, Venezuela. That wasn't quite enough so I signed up for three more in Dubai, UAE. I then decided that it would be really great to get home, to be close to my family and to put down some roots in the good old US of A. Didn't stick. On Saturday, I get on a plane for my next international school post in Guangzhou, China, the biggest city you've never heard of. It's about 100 miles from Hong Kong and boasts 10-12 million people, depending on who you believe. In addition to my fabulous day job, I am looking forward to experiencing Chinese culture and learning some Mandarin. I anticipate that will take a while. A very, very long while. I also hope to conquer my dislike of crowded spaces and people cutting in front of me in line. Yea China!!!
