Landed

Well here we go, officially past the point of no return, met the other teachers, made a flight delayed a little and may have made the flight crew think I'm a super shifty foreigner cause I left my carry on hard shell suitcase at the bar in the milestones -_- good going! :p had my last Canadian in canada there! :) 

What I would have given to have that last kiss before boarding <3 miss you linds. Can't stop thinking about you. Ya so I got on my flight and I was seated next to this very beautiful young Asian woman and I was very friendly and began practicing my esl speaking skills. Trying to ask her where she was from, very slowly and making hand features to ensure she understood. Wow! Way to go, not only was I hammered but super narrow minded as well....she was a Japanese girl travelling to Tokyo for a 3 week vacation; been working marketing for 3 years after she graduated from UNBC with buisness....oops lol she wasn't made of laughing but thought I was just a weird small town boy and she smiles then pretended like she was sleeping...the worst part was that this was roughly an 11hr flight and she was sitting in the isle....I hate being a burden and waking people up and what not; I'm also very social and she was PRETENDING TO SLEEP...certainly not giving her a special thanks on the thanks page :p so rude. 

So it was a long flight; was not too bad, played some video games, watched a couple movies, saw divergent and watched spiderman, wasn't bad; needed to get my feet out of the cowboy boots though lol

Was a good flight even though I was trapped inside my seat for the duration and couldn't meet on of my new besties, Jesse :p

The food wasn't half bad either! Flying economy with japan airlines was not all that bad, narita, here I am, give me something to tell people about :)

Income Tax for Foriegners

To begin this, I'll sum up that if you are not necessarily interested in my own personal outlooks and views on things this is what you would like to see and get assitance with if you are an Expat in China who has no idea of how taxation works. http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2015/01/28/paying-foreign-employees-individual-income-tax.html For those of you who appreciate and looked forward to my "Feihua", here it is. I have been in China for four years now, just when I think I understand how things work-I'm wrong (or it changed). Regardless of what it is when you read this, it is this for the time being. Realistically it is not as bad as one may think it to be when comparing the tax process from here to other places such as in the Middle East. Again, the view is from an outsider of that culture and expat community, however it still seems to be a relatively  conversed and ranging topic of positives and negatives. The tax system in China has its benefits as wel...

大黑山 Big Black Mountain Hike (2014)

Smoggy day :( could be better but I have been trying to do this for far to long and I currently have the opportunity to do so. Seizing the day. Origin point jinshitan, qinggui to kaifaqu. Stopped in kaifaqu, heading to tong shi tai, it is the first stop of the smaller line that stems from kaifaqu station. When getting off the train in kaifaqu, walk to the railway to your right that has the next station sign pointing in the direction your train came from. Get on train. Get off the train and head down stairs, exit off the same way you entered the train. Once you punch out of the station, exit the right side of the building onto dongbei road, a short distance to your left you will see a curve I to the next street which is______ road, go down that road _____ a short distance ahead you will see a hard to notice bus stop, jump onto bus 4, take it till they kick you off. After you get kicked off you will be confused and around what looks to be a street market. Lots of places to get food and w...

Five countries, Four Weeks Pt.6 "Koh Phi Phi-Bangkok"

Koh Phi Phi was indeed a beautiful island, right from the moment we stepped off  the boat  till the second we got back on to leave. Again, everyone seems to be asking for a dollar here, a dollar there. It becomes regular yet annoying. The island itself is very small but so incredibly easy to get lost on. Every back alley takes you to the same main bays but how far down the bays you are is the tricky part of figuring out your location. We stayed at a shady looking guesthouse called “Oasis Guesthouse” which was not too expensive but certainly didn’t seem all that secure considering the windows were just glass panes and there seemed to be a gecko or two which were always running around. Kyle and I roomed together while Jesse and Krista were sharing a room. I mostly remember from the time spent in that room, Kyle telling me again and again “rather have geckos than anything else…” I looked at him as if he was getting ill. He continued to explain that geckos are two things, faster ...
