Hangzhou, China
Greetings from Hangzhou, China!
Hangzhou is located in southeast China, approximately 180 kms (3 hours) from Shanghai. Hangzhou is one of the most important tourist cities in China, known for its natural beauty, history, and culture. We spent most of the afternoon at West Lake, the most beautiful lake in China (really, it is!!). Please google West Lake Hangzhou China for a glimpse.
The weather in Hangzhou is “subtropical monsoon” (aka, ‘really freaking uncomfortable’). It is not unusual for those not acclimated to sweat through two or three complete sets of clothing a day. It is really manky, but I guess you just get used to it ….
I will be teaching English to middle school kids attending the English language camp at Jhejiang University in Hangzhou. There are about 10 “foreign teachers” (as we are called) at this campus and about a dozen more from my group in camps outside the city. I will spend one week at the university and then transfer to another camp next week for the remainder of my contract.
We had a brief orientation last night, but I do not know many details of the weeks ahead. I am sure it will all come together once the kids arrive (tomorrow).
