I have spent the last 6 months anticipating the time that I get to go to China. Now I FINALLY have 1 month left to wait! I'll be spending a lot of time finishing up my preparations(Buying the supplies I need, packing, etc.).
I will be in Weihai, Shangdong province, China. To tell a little more about the city I will be living in, Weihai is on the tip of a peninsula in the North part of China. If I were only going for a good tour or cruise, I'd be very near South Korea and Japan. Relative to other parts of China Weihai is supposed to be a clean place with good air, and clean, beautiful beaches. It's also known to have quite beautiful gardens. Besides the gardens, I'm really excited to live by the ocean for the first time in my life. I've only been to the ocean once before and from what I can tell, I love being by the ocean. There's an island with mountains great for hiking about 2 miles off the coast. I wonder if I could possibly swim to the island, take a hike, then swim back.
My real purpose in going to Weihai is to teach English. I'll have lots of little Chinese kids to teach and play with. They're gonna be sooo cute!
This is some of what I know about Weihai, now I'll just have to find out if it's all true. I'll be recording the marvelous adventures I have here so whoever wants to know can see what Weihai is like.
