In two short months, I am attempting to process all that I saw, experienced and learned about life in Nairobi, Kenya while visiting friends there for five months this year. It was an amazing time, and the people and country are extremely dear to me. However, my short-range future has China on the radar..so to China I go later this summer. I have accepted a teaching position at a university in Wuhan and plan to be there at least a year to teach English to agricultural studies students. I am delighted to have this opportunity. But I must say that a small portion of my heart and soul will always, it seems, be with Kenya.
Gearing up for my time in China, I have been heading to used book stores and the parent-teacher store as well as discount dollar stores to find good buys on teaching materials and books. I'm an avid reader these days and love figuring out which great novels and other books I plan to take along with me on the adventure - to become part of the adventure or to shape it.
