On July 18th, I arrived in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I found my students engaging,
the country enchanting,
transportation inviting,
the bordering nations captivating,
and somewhat more distant ones, fairly easy traveling.
Life in Thailand is quite appealing and it’s easy to understand why so many expats reside here. To view posts of my first five months in Thailand, go to https://pgonsights.wordpress.com/
On July 18th, I left China to move to Thailand. While I certainly would not miss the air pollution, cold, and crowds, I wasn’t as ecstatic as one might expect. I was fortunate to have had a rather positive initial experience living abroad and wasn’t so eager to leave. Life in China made me…
laugh,
reflect,
explore,
and travel.
China is an amazing country and I look forward to returning to visit more of her national treasures. To view some of my life in China, go to https://pjgonsights.wordpress.com/
On August 16th, I left the US bound for China. My adventures living abroad were to begin in Qingdao. While I didn’t travel outside China those first few months, there were still some memorable moments. My first day as a teacher, celebrating
Halloween with my students, finding Qingdao’s most iconic sculpture on my Trek,
and freezing in Harbin to name a few. It was an auspicious beginning to… well, life as I now know it.
Not being very tech savvy nor interested in spending many more hours redesigning my blog, I’ve decided to clean it up by migrating prior years to another location. The archives are located at: https://pjgonsights.wordpress.com/ Very original, I know.
