Booked-Feb 2015

The flights have been booked, the dates are set in stone as holiday (not by choice but I'm not compaining) :) 

I won't be with the lady for valentines day which is a bit of heart break but I'm sure we will make it work!

February 1st to the 27th I will be travelling from country to country with two fellow teachers, a fourth will be joining is through the trip and hopefully I will run into my lady as her travels will start a wee but later than my own :( 

Thinking about sending her flowers maybe :) hopefully that will do the trick :) I'm super nervous about her, she is so wonderful and I know sometimes I can be a right pain, but she still seems to put up with me, I adore her and I really wish she was going to be on this trip but it is what it is, plus I haven't had much time with the boys (one of the teachers I am going with is my buddy I went to Hong Kong with) so it will be nice to just go and peruse the countries, the world (I guess is how must people would say that), and explore.

This is the reason, partially that I found this opportunity to teach abroad; I am seeing things I never thought I would ever see...what's next?

We booked our flight out and in; everything else will be travelling by land or water, beginning in Singapore and then ending in Vietnam. 

Singapore was roughly a 14hr - 30hr flight depending on where your layovers were, unfortunately I couldn't rack up any ctrip points this time around :( you guys, lower your darn prices!

Overall to and from these places cost a little under a thousand dollars maybe? Ya, not bad, I mean Singapore is distance away and then nam to dalian is again, distance so, what do you expect? It's the In between of the two that it should be pretty cheap. 

But ya, super excited, thinking of everyone back home and you bet I'll be riding elephants! Need to! :p

Keep following and thanks for the love!

Cheers!

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 ...
