It’s Monday, March 5th and yesterday was a rather drowsy blur, so I’ll start by stating that today is my first day. Today is my first day of school; today is my first day after a full-night’s, same time zone, sleep; today is the day I get to do more paperwork and errands related to obtaining my resident work visa (the “real thing”), such as going to the hospital for medical tests (oh goodee!); today is the day I meet my kids and fellow teachers for the first time; and today is the day I might feel a bit normal since I’m not in a time-zone-change-induced stupor. Not to mention a nice shower since I haven’t taken one since France.
I arrived to little fanfare except the drumroll of my excited heart, landing on China soil for the first time ever at 5:36am. Little external fanfare but much ease in processing through customs and getting my baggage. It felt like a small airport for such a large metropolis, although apparently Chengdu is still considered “country” in many respects. Reflection, June 14, 2018, 3 months later... see next post...
