Another night in China

I've been living in China since early August.   I have been unable to access my blogspot but I have extensively blogged at this site: http://www.travelpod.com/dashboard/entry/1/1306011319    Many entries to read and many hundreds of China pics if you care to check it.

I finally found a way to escape the daily grind of American life which I lived for 30 years.   After working like a dog and enduring stress related medical problems I decided to become an Oral English teacher in a Chinese University.    I work three part time days per week and get a free place to live with bills taken care of.  My pay is 800 dollars per month which allows me to save a couple hundred.   Holidays are paid.   Life is great.   I miss the states but the expectations and work kept rising every year (from the standpoint of a public school teacher)   and I took a year off in order to learn more about China.

   Working in China is a better deal for me so I believe I will stay here for a while.     I still plan to retire in my truck camper but I will put this off for another 15 years hoping that I will receive some sort of pension.


Please go to www.travelpod.com  and search "albarnes" to see my current blog if you care to keep in touch.    I plan to continue my blog here in the near future.   But for now just go over to Travel Pad to check it.


Sincerely,

Al Barnes

FOUND AWAY AROUND THE GREAT FIREWALL
