After graduating I went to North Dakota then Houston to look for work. I didn't find anything so I am trying my luck in China. It is going well here. Just coping with the smog which means waking up feeling groggy/ with a sore throat.

It was not until later on I did not see the possibilities available to me in both government and the private sector with this language ability. Though my accent will always be a fo...
