*NOTE: this blog is written on a two week delay – we weren’t
sure we would have internet access throughout the two weeks, so we kept a
journal throughout the two weeks and are now blogging from the great University
of Michigan.
Day 1: Day Prior to Leaving for China
I am very excited to go to China! I have been looking
forward to this all summer. I was lucky enough to study abroad in Spain earlier
this summer, and I found out that Europe is very similar to the United States.
I have a feeling, however, that China is going to be very different. I am
looking forward to learning about Chinese culture and to teach English to
Chinese students. I don’t know how well the teaching will go, because I don’t
know any Chinese. I wonder how much experience the Chinese students have with
English. I’m curious about the food that we will eat, and nervous about the
bathrooms (I was told that they just have holes in the floor – no toilet
bowls!). I am all packed and ready to head to the airport. Luke, Jenette, Joe
and I will meet in Detroit, and Keith will join us in Seattle on our second
flight. We will meet everyone else in China.
