It's been about a month since last I worked, officially. Luckily, I've gotten a tutoring job to tide me over. That's finished now, and I'm just waiting for my next job to start. (On the 25th) right now I'm in Guangzhou staying with a friend, who happens to be a Ukrainian model that lives with two other Ukrainian models. Actually, he's a teacher who does modeling work on the side. I'll stay here for a few days, then head back to Chenzhou to say my final goodbyes to everyone.
I've been able to spend a bit of time in Guangzhou and Shenzhen over the past couple of weeks and I think I'm going to like it here. These are big cities where you van find just about whatever you want or need. There are big expat communities in both cities so there's plenty to serve English speaking needs, but these are also real Chinese cities, despite what many people have said about them. You don't lose the experience of being in China just because you're in a big city.
Additionally, Hong Kong is just across the border from Shenzhen, so I'll have my favorite city to play in very close by. All in all, I'm happy with my decision to move to Shenzhen, even though I haven't actually moved yet. I'll keep dropping updates whenever I can, but I may miss a week or two until things settle down.
Wish me luck!
