Alex Goes To China

Now that my travels to the Far East (or far north relative to Australia) are only 17 days away I must admit that I am filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. One of the reasons for traveling to China is to find opportunities to make a living there and to explore the possibility of moving there next year. My trepidation is based on the possibility that I won’t like it, therefore leaving me unsure of my future plans.

My excitement is based on the fact China has so much to offer the world. In the wake of the USA’s economic decline, China is in good stead to become one of a new generation of superpowers (India, Brazil and others seem likely to ascend to this status also). This in itself means that China will become more and more relevant to everyone in the coming years. For this reason I want to understand China better… this trip and future travels there is a part of this. So here we come China! 17 days and counting…
