Finally got VPN to work thanks to my coworker setting it up for me - which means I can now freely access facebook, youtube, twitter, blogger, and news about Tibet. I've started doing some video-blogging and will post those shortly. Now that I am in China, it still hasn't hit me that I left my family/friends, puppy, a good-paying job, a new home, my car, and all my gadgets in a land about 10,000miles away. I guess it just means I was meant to be here.
Alot of you are asking, so how's work or what are you doing now? It's kind of hard to answer this question since I'm not technically "working." In fact, I wake up every morning not knowing what I'll be doing for the rest of the day. In a way, my aunt is 'apprentice'-ing me and showing me the market in China. After I've adjusted and improved my language and knowledge, I will then decide which field I want to get into and eventually start a business from that. It's very broad and general right now since I have not really narrowed my scope. Doing anything is possible. So this means if you guys have good business ideas and want a partner in China, I'm your go-to guy! As I learn more about China, I will post my findings here on this blog. From I've seen so far, I truly feel like a veil has been lifted from me, and now I see the world as it is. When living in America, you really don't realize what's going on in the rest of the world. In addition, you only view the world from the American perspective. This wouldn't be such a bad thing except Americans make up roughly 5% of the world population. The rest of the 95% you never get to see and experience. I'm hoping that in my days to come I will begin to view the world as JC does and to truly mourn for the lost and the wicked. And from that, to view the hope that I have in a new way.
My WIM (what I miss) of the day: NBA playoffs.
