In the fall of 2002 I decided to spend a period of time living in China. In December I secured a job teaching English in Luzhou, Sichuan, and signed a six-month contract. I left Oregon, my home state, in February 2003 and have been living in Sichuan since. Thanks to a connection made by my aunt, Mary Schenkenberg, I've been given the opportunity to write
about my experience and impressions for the St. Louis Chinese American News
