About this blog

Hi. Welcome to my travel blog for my international exploration trip to China, which is funded by NHMCCD in Houston, Texas. My trip is divided into three stages. During the first stage Professor Bobby O'Brien and I are going to visit colleges in Suzhou and Wuxi. In the second stage, I will visit a faculty at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and hope to visit another college there. The last stage of the trip is a training course in Beijing. For three weeks I will receive 60 plus hours of training in teaching Chinese as a foreign language at the Beijing Normal University. I hope to meet tons of people and make a lot of friends there!
