Have you ever had a colleague who really gets under your skin? It seems that every time you have any interaction with them, they say or do something that nearly sends you through the roof?
When I first started classes at Three Bridges English School I was pretty nervous. I took advice from the more experienced teachers and presented classes as best I could.
Most of my students, and indeed almost anyone I've met since arriving in China, has averred they've built their perception of life in America on what they see in movies and TV.
The sun is out and the week has been deliciously warm. In the US, this means that all the women put on their tank tops and sunglasses.
There were times when I was scared to venture out on my own. The fear of getting lost was not an easy one to overcome.
I have been in China for 4.5 years now. Soon I will be celebrating my 5th anniversary of my love affair with China and its people.
A wedding should be the happiest moment in a person’s life. However, the skyrocketing expenses of married life have forced many young Chinese to shy away from marriage, which is increasingly becoming a “sweet burden.”
I have been in China for two months now. I know nothing, so I am told. I have a "China crush" is another one I am told.
My first impression in coming to China was that people were kind and very welcoming to me as a foreigner. They treated me well and were very generous.
More often beginners are advised not to perceive the language as difficult, but that is just like soothing a painful sore.
Before you go and think this is a post bashing China, stop. Because it's not. Don't get me wrong, I love China. It's a great place, with really friendly people.
I've been in China now for almost 4 years. I came here in 2011. I planned to stay one year and go back to the US.
