I know it is a bit of an odd title but it is what I am feeling right now. It just started to hit that wow, I am going to China. I have insurance, I have started to make friends. I am starting to learn Chinese. I know its a bit late to START learning Chinese... It is kind of scary to think wow, I am really going to do this. I am going to leave my world, everything I know on the idea that it would be fun to go to a whole new culture, whole new language, a whole new land.
I honestly do not know if I can hack it but it is too late to turn back now. I have the acceptance letter, I have plane tickets, I have insurance. Im about to go get a visa...
i am not that worried anymore about being alone. I signed onto a dozen different penpal sites and just started emailing a ton of different Chinese kids about my age. Now I have friends in Bejing, Nanchang, Shanghai and Wuhan. New friends to help me learn about the culture, learn about the food, help with the language and keep me from feeling so forign. However I do get a lot of odd questions. "Why go to Wuhan? Why not Bejing or Shanghai like all the other Americans?"
