about verena in china and why it hasn't started earlier...

I should have started this blog about three months ago, when I arrived in China, but I kept pushing it, and pushing it, so here it finally is, let's see how good I'll be at keeping it up2date.
the past three months here have been great, and, although the temperature didn't always match my body's requirements (I slept with a hat, warming bottle and sleeping bag in my hutong/trad.chinese house) and the air is quite bad, I am having a great time here!
of course China isn't always easy, but probably easier for me, as I am working in an international environment in which everyone speaks English, quite necessary, as my Chinese hasn't advanced very much...also, I have met some great people, some of them speak Chinese too, which makes life a lot easier
