I've been in Beijing for a full year now and today I paused to reflect on the things that have happened in that year...
In no particular order...
-We moved campuses from ChangPing to YuanMingYuan.
-I was stranded in South Korea for nearly a month.
-I did seven days in isolation inside my room due to H1N1 scares.
-My Chinese has improved (if only slightly)
-I mastered the Beijing mass transport system from the overcrowded buses to the far-reaching subway lines.
-I've had dinner everywhere from a grand State Dinner at the Great Hall of the People to a tiny apartment deep in the hutong that also served as a unregistered house church.
-I've seen roughly 3,000 Chinese teachers and lived at one time or another with over 100 Americans who also came for this purpose.
I am very grateful for this opportunity and look forward to more growth and experiences in the next year.
