Eu não moro no Rio, eu namoro o Rio.

Extremely rough translation: I don’t live in Rio, I’m in love with Rio.

As much as I’ve loved (nearly) every moment from these past 6 months here in Rio pretending to be the girl from Ipanema, faking a samba step at carnaval and slamming down caipivodkas (no cachaça for this girl), my itchy feet have gotten the better of me.

With an expired visa and a disease like deep desire that wills me to see the world, I’ve decided to make a big move.

I mean a really big move.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

You guessed it!

CHINA!

The Chinese government has offered myself and some 100 other Anglophoneys a job teaching oral English in public schools in the city of Shenzhen.

Never heard of Shenzhen? Neither had I!
