So, I've been MIA for the past 11 months. I am NOT proud of that and I know when I'm looking back through my blogs, I'll be really sad that I don't have anything posted about my time in Beijing. It was (as expected) another great year in China. However, now I'm back in the States full time and beginning to start my life as not a foreigner. My goal is to make a series of posts about the differences in China and America. These differences will include the food, people, lifestyle, work, and some other culture aspects. By doing this I hope to remember what it was like as I was a foreigner in a land that's not so foreign to me anymore.
A short update on my life now. I got a call to serve as the fourth grade teacher at St. Paul's Muskego. I have pretty much fully moved in (however, still working on getting things on the walls) and working hard in my classroom. Hopefully I'll also include some pictures of that in this series.
Here's a difference... blogger isn't blocked in America. I have no excuse as to why I'm not posting... :)

Trekking soon
Tomorrow Melissa and I start our trekking adventure! It rained a little at our current place so hoping it's not going to rain tomorrow! We are excited to begin even though we don't really know what to expect so no matter what, it should be good. We had a long bus ride today but not much else happened. I'll be out of internet for the next six days. I'll give you an update when I'm back!

Back to a world
I've returned to a world with free access to blogger and Facebook! I arrived in Nepal a few hours ago and am awaiting the arrival of my sister! First thoughts of the city... small! But still crazy. No stoplights or buildings over five maybe four floors. It's cold here too! Without heat. Reminds me a bit of Wuhan in the winter.
They have electricity outages often so it's not very reliable. I got here at 6 and it didn't come on til 10. They also have water shortages and have been told their water is quite expensive. I haven't noticed yet. Enjoy these few pictures I took from the car to my hotel.
