The Summary

** THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! ** Spent July & August 2004 in China after graduating from university. I taught English in Jimo in Shandong province for 6 weeks, then travelled around for 3.5 weeks. I came back with over 300 digital photos, and 13 36 exp 35mm films, so expect a few along the way! This is a reflective blog, written 3 years later as I've only just found this site, but I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. ** WORK IN PROGRESS! Will WORK ON WHEN I CAN! **
