Hi Christine, Thanks so much for your lovely comments. I hope you’re progressing with your plans to come to China. Also hope you got my email about that a few weeks ago! If not, please write back and I’ll try again. Best, Kathy

Hello Kathryn,

I’ve posted a few comments on your blog-absolutely love it and have had fun discovering your city life in China.

I already mentioned that my family and I were working on getting over to China to teach for a year. One of the reasons we are doing this is to get out of our comfort zone and see/experience something new. I’ve also begun thinking that at the end of the year I would like to find an internship in the import/export industry-which is what my studies were focused on (or marketing, as it would be an area I’ve always wanted to work in)- in either Shanghai or Beijing so as to advance in my professional career.
I just happened across the link the article your son posted about working for the garlic company and was wondering if you would know how a person would go about finding an internship (or perhaps your son would be more knowledgeable from recent experience) in one of the larger cities of China-especially in one of the two above mentioned industries.
I would love any feedback/advice you might have:) And…as the weather gets nicer, I’ll be looking forward to hearing about more of your adventures and observations!

Best,
Christine

If elevator doors open and the walls are black with molten and congealed TV screens, somebody shot up a firecracker inside.

Thanks for that! And yeah, I keep on taking pictures because there’s just so much that amazes me. Most days I see something that I have to photograph for fear that I’ll think later that I made it up. Do you live here? If so, I’m sure you know what I mean.

This made me laugh-so random!
On another note…I love that you have been living in China for 8 years and are still taking pictures. They are lovely!
