About a year ago we decided that we wanted to retire and go to China to teach English. We had heard about the teaching program through BYU from several sources. We decided this program was something we wanted to pursue. We started our application process in December 2017. We were notified in February that we were selected. The Chinese paperwork and application process was very intense and at times we wondered, "Is this worth it?" Well here we are living on the 6th floor of an apartment building in Nanjing, China. We are professors at Nanjing Tech University for the 2018 -2019 school year. We have been in China for one week. I think this adventure will be worth it, but we are still so new. We arrived at our apartment after a 27 hour trip. Our foreign affairs expert is named MA. She has an agenda where she has taken us to the bank, foreign affairs office, national hospital for blood work, phone company, subway station, bus stop, and to meet our college coordinator. O
