As I, Andrew Ewings, begin this post, many things are running through my mind. I am about to leave my country for a year of teaching in China. I am not entirely sure what manner of things I will encounter there, but I decided I should start this blog so that I could keep friends, family, and anyone interested informed about what is happening to me far away. I suppose that at times, this will include more or less mundane information, and at other times it may be a lot at once. Either way, I will try to update with some regularity. Hopefully in a later post I can establish with what frequency I will update. Regardless, I don't expect that I will post again until I have established myself in my new home overseas.
If you care to leave feedback about this blog, or especially if you have any suggestions about teaching English as a foreign language, or even if you simply want to get in touch with me, you may email me at chinandrew89@gmail.com. I will do my best to give you a timely response, but PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS: there should be absolutely no use of the names of G-d unless they are edited. It is best if you simply find a replacement name, e.g., He, Him, His, etc. If you feel these are unclear, you may split words into two: Ch urch, etc. Finally, LEAVE OUT ANY AND ALL REFERENCES TO M-SSION WORK! In general, finding replacements for ch-rch vocabulary will be necessary to communicate with me over the next ten months. I do not want to cause any trouble with the gov't in China, nor do I want to bring any harm to the members of the flock there. Thank you for your compliance with these directives.
Additionally, I encourage you to contact me via google+ and/or skype. My skype name is ewingaj, and you can find me under Andrew Ewings in google+. I am also able to make phone calls (prepaid--there will be further charge to me beyond what I have already put in) over skype, but please keep in mind that we will be operating in completely different time zones; I will also need your phone number for that to work. Thanks!
I hope to post again once I reach the other side.
G-d bl-ss!
In nomine J-su
