first three months in china

okay so this is my first blog ever s here is goes. i have been living in china for over three months now and i thought i would share the experience. i dont want to get into the pros and cons of china first off. but lets start from the beginning. when i got here the school has no place for me to stay. luckily one of the other teachers let me start at his place. this was really helpful because i didnt even know how or where to get food. after that i slowly started getting things like my own place and an e-bike. so i am settling in still but i have alot of thing and am way more comfortable now. speaking of comfort, the beds here are rock hard. so i have three mattress toppers to make me bed soft enough to get a good nights sleep. these first three months have gone by fast. i have done some good traveling. the first place i went was lushan which is a mountain town.

we hiked the mountain all day the started in a city at the foot of the mountain. one thing i like about china is that when i go to bars i get free drinks and usually the owner comes and says hi. makes me feel like a baller. the next place i traveled too was shenzhen which is the city above hong kong. i had a class while i was there so i did not get to walk around much but one thing i like was it was like vegas and new york mixed.

 the most recent place i traveled too was machau. this place is like china's answer to vegas. its pretty cool but it is no vegas, still though is had great beef jerky and i got to see a cirque du soleil which was awesome.

 i am leaving for hong kong on weds and i hope to travel around a little then but i will be going to hong kong about a month after that again with some friends for spring vacation. i will try and update this blog monthly now that i have it. but basically i already miss america and americans.
