Almost settled down

Hello,

Here we are in Beijing, it´s been a bit more than three weeks since we arrived and there´s been no time to update the blog, but obviously many things had happened.
We arrived here on the 1st March and I´ve started working as a Media&Marketing and E-business teacher at the ICB university since the very beginning , we´ve been pretty busy since our arrival, the lectures, Visa paperwork, get a bank account and a credit card, a mobile telephone...and buy the stuff we need for the apartment... and so on.
After that I started feeling a bit like at home,eventhough, we just knew a bit of our area because this city is huge!!!

Thanks to some fellow teachers working at the university, it´s been much easier to get to know some basic things about the area and start having some social live, we´ve met an english teacher who lives in our building who´s been a great help for us, an american couple and his son kid Seth, he´s such a cute kid, or Mike an american teacher at the ICB, they´ve been all very nice to us.

But let´s talk about feelings and Beijing experiences, since we arrived, today it´s been our first sightseeing day, we´d gone to the City center and we walked through Tiananmen square and had quick look at the forbidden city, but we had not entered because we´d like to do it more calmly, also we went to the main commercial street in Beijing and we had a walk throgh some malls and a traditional food market where you coud buy scorpions, snakes....and many things you should see by your own...I felt very happy to do so, because It´s like start getting into the country knowledge and get to know the city where we live...I´d say our city???

I felt like an ant when I walked down the street with so many people and we arrived to Tiananmen and we saw see that massive buildings.....

Regarding the last weeks it´s not been easy to adapt to a new city and a new job, both don´t have anything to do with what I did before..but I do feel happy about how has it been and it is a really awsome experience to relate with the students, because though I speak english during the classes, they help you out of many doubts with your first chinese words and they´d explained me quite a lot of things about Beijing or about China.

Well, the last thing I´d like to say but the first by importance is THANKS TO MY WIFE!!! without you I wouldn´t be able to do anything of this.

Cheers,

David
