China

Written by Erik

As of tomorrow, we will have wrapped up a very eventful first week in Shanghai. After we landed, we wasted no time contacting old friends and employers whom we had only communicated with via email previously.
We are currently staying at East China Normal University, in the Zhongshan park area of the city. The dorm we are staying in is a little expensive, so we hope to be moving out soon.
I am planning on taking the ECNU language program that starts in the fall (we are amazed at how good our friend Tony has gotten at chinese, largely in part to these classes).
Yesterday was the begin of a three-day series of interviews for different jobs for Amara and I. We are very optimistic, and couldn't be happier.
