I am alive!!!!

Well, I made it to China. Over 20 hours of travel and I am here! To be honest it isn't bad. I was a little bummed because we are in the suburbs a little, but we can get into town pretty easily via taxi, bus, subway, etc. Hopefully we will go into Shanghai this weekend. My first day was pretty crazy. After travelling for so long, we found our apartments, well, temp housing. I will attach a video tour soon. The set up will be the same as our real apartment and is three bedroom, two bath, great size! We then went into town. My first Chinese meal was this seafood thing that I thought was just shrimp but had octopus and some other unidentifiable sea food thing. It is funny becuase you don't know what you are ordering, you just point to wat you want and they cook it.

I will be teaching K1 which consists of 4-5 year olds. Pretty much they speak English so it won't be bad at all. I am actually excited.

Well, I am off to play soccer. I will tell you more later.
