Hi everyone. My name is Aaron. I have been reading the boards for a while off and on, including the old one, and since I am now in China I figured I may as well post some also. Let's see, I am 30 years old male. I have been in Tianhe district of Guangzhou for 4 days so far, currently staying with someone I met months back on the internet. For some seemingly crazy reason (lol) I am checking into getting a job here now (just here as a tourist atm), and staying long term. It's been quite an adjustment considering that not only do I know hardly any mandarin or cantonese, and can't read, all the other differences, etc. I also am from a rural area in northern Minnesota, USA. The population of the largest local town was 6000 residents, so "big city" life has also been interesting, especially the chinese version of
motor havoc public transportation.
