And so, after the longest summer of all time, I am finally leaving. I was going to attempt some sort of poetic tribute to North America, but that seemed a bit pretentious. Besides, I think it is a fitting enough tribute that my three meals today were fried chicken, a cheeseburger, and another cheeseburger. Today at 1:25 PM I board my flight to Cambodia, with a stopover in Seoul. I didn't mention this in the introduction post, but in order to teach English in China, you actually first have to learn how to be a teacher. I thought my economics degree would be enough, but oh well. So I will be going to Cambodia to become a certified teacher. Yes, I could've added 'and 4 weeks in Cambodia' to the title of the blog, but that would've been stupid.
I will be spending 4 weeks in Cambodia completing teacher training, and then I will make my way to the People's Republic. I will attempt to document all the interesting things that happen to me along the way, but if that results in too many posts, I will do my best to only tell the most interesting stories. I am excited to begin this journey, and I hope you are excited to read about it (not like 'woooooo' excited, but at least more than 'meh' excited). North America (and I say North America because Canada is such an important part of my life. Not Mexico though), it's been real. I love you, I'll miss you, and in the immortal words of Arnold, I'll be back.
P.S. If you don't get the title of this post, google John Denver. But don't listen to the song. It's terrible.
ALWAYS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED
