Returning to China

October 25th, 2008

I haven’t updated this blog for quite some time… apologies for that. Let me sum up my Summer back in Canada and my time spent with new friends in Massachusetts. Perhaps summing up is too ambitious…

Perhaps it’s better to cut to the chase. I met someone while traveling in China the first time around. We met up again when she returned to the US for a couple of months in the summer. I spent time in Massachusetts and she spent time here in Canada. We spent a lot of time together during her visit home. She has now returned to China and since we enjoy spending time with one another and would prefer to continue doing so… I’m returning to China for 3-4 months.

I plan on using my time in China to study mandarin and to more deeply explore Shanghai… which I didn’t end up seeing much of the first time around (after meeting the person above in Shanghai I wasn’t as concerned about making sure I saw all of the sights). I’ll probably do a little bit of programming here and there to keep my hands busy and to give me a break from studying mandarin.

I’m headed back at the beginning of November. I’ll be updating the blog again once I’m settled in.

Hope this finds you all healthy and happy.
