I’m Ready

Before I went to Australia, I told myself that from the time I leave Wuhan onward and for the rest of my life, I’m going to do the things I’ve always wanted to do without hesitation. As a result, I went bungee jumping as a nice start to scratching off things from my list. Ever [...]

Beyond the Land

In this extremely trying and hot time, all I can think about is Australia. Beaches, Water, BBQ, oh my! As much as I spend my time thinking about my trip, I know it’s not for another 5 months, which makes it all the more exciting and depressing. I already bought my visa to Australia. It [...]

Wuhan, China: “Meat on a stick” is a very common food item in China, usually prepared by Muslims (from Xinjiang or Langzhou). This woman makes the best “lamb on a stick” I’ve ever had. Think about how much lamb would cost in your country, and then be amazed by the fact that 1 stick here [...]

Wuhan, China: Typical Chinese fast-food on the streets of Wuhan. People gather around little wagons of food and choose what they want to eat. The food tastes great, but be weary of how it’s prepared and don’t be surprised by the quick onset of the “runs.” Do you trust street food in Asian countries?

Highlight on China: Food

I was reading a good book I found online which highlights various countries around the world and gives samples and recipes from those countries. Well, one of the country’s highlighted was China, and instead of me trying to write a review (as I don’t know pretty much anything about Chinese history), I thought I would [...]

Bagels and Lox

The past week has been bliss. There are so many more people in Wuhan now that the fall semester of university has begun. This also means that I have no work. Because we’re a private training center, most of our work comes during summer vacation and other holidays. So for all of September, New Oriental [...]

One Month Anniversary

Sean — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 09:31:15 +0000

Today is one month since I arrived in China. To celebrate, I taught five hours of English, then hung out with some friends at my Chinese neighbor Tao’s apartment. He runs a photography/video business, and mostly does weddings. My friend Yan Ling works for him, which is how I met her. All the employees and [...]
