And eating EVERY meal out for 23 days.
And studying, of course.
I am leaving today for China -- employer is sending me for an intensive language course (more like letting me go).
It is partially subsidized -- they are paying my salary (I am not taking vacation for this) and the classes and housing at the University is provided.
Everything else I have to pay for - no daily allowance or airfare. But I think this is a sweet deal.
I intend to buy stuff like clothing for SO and myself, cute stationary, bedding, accessories, cute stuff, etc... China is a place to bargain hunt!
I am excited and a little nervous - I have not traveled by myself in a long long time.
I'll have a laptop and internet at the dorm, so I'll still post!
I am going on a 23 DAY shopping spree!!!

Please be careful what you eat there though. Health and food standards are not always... up to par.

I am familiar with local realities.
But I forgot whatever language I learned back then. Hoping to refresh.
