Due to the Coronavirus, I learned that I was able to extend my Chinese New Year; and I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t want to be stuck in my apartment longer than needed. Navika and I cancelled our trip to Hong Kong (since Disney was going to be closed) and decided to check flights toContinue reading “The Philippines 🇵🇭”

I spent two days of my Chinese New Year Holiday in Macao, and I loved it! A brief history… Macao is a sovereign state of China. It is a peninsula and island area. It was leased to Portugal in the mid 16th century, from what I read, to help protect the country of China fromContinue reading “Macao/ Macau 🇲🇴”

This past week, I have been getting ready for our annual dinner, which was on the 15th and now that it’s over and I am on holiday for Lunar New Year, I am have found time to write about it. I was so happy to find out about this event. I love any reason toContinue reading “Annual Dinner”

I found an apartment with my new friend, Kayla. It is close to her center and not too far from mine (just a few metro lines). We are onContinue reading “First Holiday in China”

My flight from LAX arrived very early on Wednesday morning. It was very odd as we spent 14.5 hours on a plane that was in complete darkness. I think this was the largest plane I had ever been on, yet, it had very little personal space. I was able to watch movies on my flightContinue reading “First few days”

Since the end of July, I have been getting ready for a new adventure. I decided to take a job with Disney English teaching in China. In August, I worked on course work for teaching English as a Second Language. It was pretty much a review of classes that I took during my time atContinue reading “Starting the adventure”
