About this blog

I'm off to China for a year. Who really knows what's going to happen except for the inevitable I don't really know what I'm eating/near death experiences in the streets of China/adventures in navigation/gecko hunting/chop stick using/noodle eating/people watching/miming out words in the middle of crowded streets to an audience of many/nervous laughter/wandering around with no destination in mind/mandarin learning/english teaching things. Yeah, those kinds of experiences.
