Ok so you boiled down a long story into one sentence, that is a gift! lol..by "we" you mean you and John? You're both teachers? My grammar is pretty redneckish, now I'm going to be self conscious! lol.

That is a gift for one who finds herself writing long winded replies when a couple of sentences would suffice. 😊

John and I are not teachers. The Tesol (Teaching English To Speakers Of Other Languages) courses are pretty basic and it was enough to get us into China and work there for a year. Nowadays, people require degrees to qualify, so I guess we were pretty lucky to get such a wonderful opportunity to live alongside the Chinese people and experience that very interesting culture when we did.

Oh how interesting! Do you have tons of pictures and do you do posts about it? I can't imagine what that was like. Were the people wonderful and were you able to find out what their impression of America was?
