Hi everyone. Guess I better get my intro outta the way...
I'm 36 year old male whose stupid enough to work for the US government (that dreaded big agency with the abbrev DHS) here on the US Trust Territory of Guam, aka 3rd world USA.
I work in IT and I'm totally burnt out, standing up a new US Gov agency will do that to you I guess. I hate going to work everyday, in fact I would quit but I like the people I work with.
I guess I'm one of those change my career types but I've been considering teaching English for about 6 years now and decided to take the plunge this year, eek!
To answer a few questions I saw posted earlier in this thread -
- Studied CMA (Chinese martial arts) for the better part of 1 decade (Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Shaolin systems)
- Find girlfriend - no, find wife - yes
- Adventurer YES, been all over the place in Asia, stayed in more than 1 3rd world country (Bali and Thailand are my favs)
- Aspiring author, I will be writing at least 1 book on living in China, I even know the title of the book, otherwise I'm a speculative fiction writer (sci-fi, fantasy, horror)
- Looking to probably be a long term ESL teacher until my writing career provides enough to live well in China.
- I'm big on Chinese astrology and had my Zi Wei Dou Shu done, it's scarily accurate!
I already have learned a ton of useful stuff lurking here so thanks for that guys and gals! Thanks in advance for answers to any newb ?s I have, this place is better than that OTHER place.
