Going walkabout and answering some of my questions about China... Like when I'll win the lottery with all these useless tickets they keep selling me!
About this blog
Having had a lot of fun teaching in China, an opportunity arises to be free of responsibilities, pressures, plans etc. for the first time in a many years and to go and take a look at China, the good, the bad and the ugly and get out the expatriate bubble I'd landed in.
What to write? Well, let's try this for size: 1.Write to amuse myself and learn about myself. 2.Assume most things are the same everywhere. 3.Observe the differences. These are the challenges and interest of cross-cultural relationships and travel. 4.Few if any people understand China, least of all me, and certainly not the Chinese! The mystery is the relative isolation of the culture. 5.The writer's discretion is final, always totally rational(honest) and mine alone!
