Flying into Hong Kong

I made it! A lot has been happening here with my job and getting settled (including testing the local eateries, of course!), and I didn’t have internet hooked up, so I haven’t been online. But now I’m connected and will do my best to keep you all updated!

The flight was fine. The best part was visiting with my coworkers and flying over Hong Kong.

I’m living in the Nanshan district of Shenzhen. It’s very Westernized, but nice. There is a lovely park across the street. Our apartment (my roommate Jada and me) is right next to the school. There are several shopping malls all around us.

We drove by Shenzhen Bay yesterday on our way to the new campus for orientation. We could see the bridge that connects Nanshan (the peninsula part) to Hong Kong. Pretty cool!

My job situation isn’t what I expected (I just found out that I’m teaching preschool, and I have to admit that I’m not very happy about that) but I like my coworkers and surroundings. So it will hopefully still be a great year, even if it stretches me in a way I wasn’t expecting.
