Shi Jia Zhuang, China
I taught English and lived in a small industrial city (3 million is small for China) just a couple of hours southwest of Beijing by train.
I taught English at Hebei Normal University.
Loved the people, food, culture (most of the time). I even enjoyed the chaos of living in an overpopulated developing nation. It was always full of surprises!
I disliked the smog and general pollution. At times, I would also get tired of being a novelty and wish that I could blend in and not solicit stares from curious locals.
