G'day!!
I'm from Australia. I'm an Aussie, mate!
Stopped working in Australia - tired of the corporate BS and political correctness and superheroes not appreciated any more. Used to wrestle crocodiles, ride kangaroos and keep the city safe at night!!
Took a TESOL. Started a new life.
Teaching English in Daqing, northern China.
Been here 9 months. Will stay forever unless deported.
Hate the cold - my nightmare is starting soon.
Looking for a Chinese wife but probably adopting the wrong method. (Which is?)
Apart from the obvious negatives I actually like it here.
Current major feat? Yet to use a squat toilet for a crap after 9 months in China! OMG. I want that mentioned at my funeral should I die of an intestinal related disease!
Cool Wink

Ichi: Nowadays Portuguese, Italian, Ancient Greek (reading, of course, not speaking), and I'm doing my best with Mandarin and Classical Chinese. Back before China, I could fake my way through a few others, but gotta focus now. Nevermind: A little village, not on the map, kind of close to Field but not in the Park. Went back and visited, but almost no one I know lives there anymore. Too poor, most people are in the greater Vancouver area or Calgary or else logging or mining :(
