Hello everyone!

I'm in Chengdu, China, at the moment, teaching English for a year. It's going well, i'm enjoying it very much. I'm living in a town near to Chengdu actually, named Jintang. I'm teaching at a private college here. My classes have between 50 and 70 students, which is interesting and challenging. The food in Sichuan is very good. I am also working part time at a kid's language school, which is also an interesting challenge :) Otherwise, I'm spending my free time running or walking on the local hill, playing guitar, hanging out with friends and also playing football with my students, not to mention singing at KTV (karaoke). I am 2 months through a 10 month contract :) Here are some photos...

My college has a 737 on campus.
