The Road to China - Adventures of a Photographer turned English Teacher

In August 2003 I made arrangements to teach English in China but when I got there there was no job. So begins a very interesting six-month stay in Beijing. Within these pages you'll hear stories of college life the move to a market economy corruption burnout mobsters government as benevolent parent the surprising gravitation to all things Western and the tribulations of a foreigner trying to start a new business. (Oh yes and the experiences of a newbie teaching English in a foreign land!) You are also introduced to some of my students who in their own words talk about their lives aspirations and frustrations.
