As I mentioned that I have been to China before and this blog will be mainly about that land of wonders, I thought it suitable to put up a few photos from that trip. Check out my Gallery to find out what my first impressions were:)
I should probably start by explaining how I actually got to making such a life-changing decision. Well,it all started with a certain Chinese student met at a university in UK..Soon he was my boyfriend and now, after two years together, he's my fiancé:) We intended to stay in UK but he struggled to find a job there and I was faced with a decision: do I stay in familiar, comfortable Blighty, where all my friends are, where I feel at home, where I can develop my career..or do I go after him to his homeland, a country not entirely foreign to me as I have been there once before but still a land relatively unknown, a totally different environment, where I am not able to communicate with anyone and can't do anything by myself, at least not at first?Not to mention the rather worrying looong distance from anywhere familiar...Of course, I chose the latter:)!Those,who know me, know that I'm a hopeless romantic and will go to any lengths when it comes to the L word. Plus I needed a change. On a more realistic note, I need a job. Somewhere in China. With no Mandarin required. Hmm..this could be tricky.... To here... I cannot believe it!I simply can't believe I'm doing it!ME, the sensible, stable, reasonable (perhaps..boring?)girl, who tends to think everything over a hundred times before she makes a decision...
And that's when it comes to small,every-day decisions, like which washing up liquid to buy.. and here is a major, gigantic, the mother of all decisions and, shockingly, I made it quite quickly...I AM MOVING TO CHINA! It's quite something, let me tell you this.It's not a move to a different neighbourhood in your town, not to a city withing the same state, not even a move to a different country on your continent!No...this is something bigger than all of that, and I don't only mean the distance.Why is it so massive?Because it is a move to China-the land of the weird and wonderful. Probably more weird than wonderful but only time will tell...I'm off! |
MEHello! I'm a Polish/British girl, who followed her heart all the way to China....Confused already :) ?Wait for the updates written from a uniquely international perspective. Inspirations
