Welcome to China!

Here I am on the other side of the world living, working, and starting a new chapter in my life.

A few months ago, I came across an advertisment for a placement company that brought architects to China. With this economy and the effect it has had on the job market for architects, I didn't see any harm in sending my information to this somewhat suspicous company. I never really considered working in China. Up to this point, I had sent out over 400 CVs since graduating from with my bachelor two years ago. It was a huge surprise when I received an email from the company notifying me that there was an architecture firm in Shanghai, China, that wanted to interview me.

Well, as you probably know by now, I received the job and made the frighten, life changing move. I have now been in Shanghai for a little over a month. There have been a lot of ups and downs when it comes to working here, living here, and just trying to mantain a life here. In future posts, I will recount my experiences both good and bad. Please keep in mind that any observations made whether positive or negative are purely based on my opinion and/or stating the opinions of others.
