It was in August 1999 that I decided to come to China to work as a
language teacher.
I taught in Zhongshan City, Guangdong for six months before moving
to Ningbo. I came to Wanli University in 2000, and I taught there for five
years. My time in Ningbo is great. I’ve met many wonderful Chinese
teachers.I came to China with the idea of helping Chinese friends learn
English better, and I have achieved this many times over. I’ve traveled to
many places in China, and I find that Ningbo is my favorite place.
When I first came to Ningbo in 2000, the downtown area was under a lot of construction. It wasn’t as clean as it is now, however, I knew that this
was a great city to live in. When I arrived, there was one McDonalds, and
three KFC’s. But we didn’t get a Starbucks until 2003.
I’ve really enjoyed spending my time here, especially now that I have
found my beautiful wife, and we will be having our first child in Ningbo .
Maybe she or he will learn Ningbo Hua, to talk with the grandparents.
While staying in Ningbo, I have noticed that many people can understand English, but are very shy to speak out. I’m telling you now, it is only a
language, and don’t be afraid to talk, just remember, “Nobody is
perfect. ”
