Hangzhou, China
I currently each in Fuyang, which is a village town in Zhejiang Province.
Teacher
Fuyang is basically a quiet, nothing exciting about the city. I love my occupation and if it weren't for my students and the love I have for this job, I would not remain here.
I don't like Fuyang, but I live here because of work. As with every Chinese city, the natives are always curious when they see "laowai %u8001%u5916" (foreigners). Sometimes it can make you feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable when they stare, point, or whisper!
California, USA
Graduate student working on my MAIS degree.
Student, but formerly worked in Human Resources Management
I love the landscape, mountains, peaceful atmosphere and of course the weather
