It has now been almost three weeks in China, and more importantly almost three weeks since my last blog post. Just when you thought you had finally gotten rid of me, I'm back. Well at least digitally. So you all must be wondering: What's China like? The answer is I have no idea. China is big (duh), and I really haven't had any time for sightseeing or traveling, which is kind of shitty (I will get to the pros and cons section soon, be patient). I can however tell you what a foreign teacher's life in Wuhan, China is like. You can draw your own conclusions about the rest of the country accordingly.
In case you didn't know, Wuhan is quite a large city. This being China, that means really really big. Wuhan has almost 10 million inhabitants. And in typical Chinese fashion, it shows. There are people EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME. I guess that's big city life. It does get kind of annoying though, especially when 2/3 of those people are staring at you at all times.
I feel like I have given the impression throughout my posts that everything here is all amazing all the time. While many many things have been amazing, this trip hasn't been without it's downs, and in that sense I think I have not given a full view of my experience in my previous posts, a mistake I intend to rectify. In the interest of short blog posts I will post a pros and cons post tomorrow sometime. Until then, content yourself with the fact that I am alive and blogging.
