Hunan or Bust
I have weeks worth of stuff to write about but about 5 minutes to do it. In the words of Inigo Montoya, "let me explain. 'twill take too long--let me sum up." I gave all my exams and magically managed to correct them all in the same week. Ugh. It was a bit of an adventure figuring out how to enter grades but in the end we just had to hand in a sheet. Excellent. PiA-ers invaded in a fun way and it was a blast showing Tyler, Rena (his g-friend), Andy, Christi, and Jenny around the city whenever possible. Andy and I headed to HK for a few days and had a blast staying with the Yale China girls and exploring Mong Kok, Soho, and the outer edges of the New Territories (who knew Hong Kong had such good hiking?!). I am about to take off for two weeks of backpacking around Hunan Province with David, my friend and coworker here who was born and raised in that area. Before I take off though, I can officially announce now that I am staying in Guangzhou for another year! It was a really tough decision but I know it's the right one. There's far too much keeping me here and I am excited about doing a summer language program and getting my Mandarin to an acceptable level. I should be back around the 6th or 7th, and will inevitably have a gazillion things to write about. Until then, xin nian hao...
