Yes China! is a story about... wait for it... wait for it... tacos. You thought I was going to say China, didn't you? Well, there might be something about China in here, but this is not your ordinary travelogue. Sure, I did the whole "traveling on a budget" thing and came face-to-face with some of the most horrifically poo and maggot-filled restrooms in existence, but the real reason I was in China was to teach. More specifically, I was there to pretend like I knew how to teach. Because I didn't.So how does someone who had no interest in China and no experience in teaching end up spending a total of two years there? It was a spontaneous decision to go in the first place, but through the series of cultural mishaps that followed, the embarrassing dates, teaching successes and failures, cross-country adventures, personal revelations, and moments of thinking, "What the hell am I doing?!" I fell in love.Yes China! offers a unique look into the Chinese classroom as I butt heads with everyone from elementary and adult students to their school administrators. It is as much about life in modern China-the food, the language, the customs-as it is about how the experience helped me grow up and move past my social insecurities, conflicting Mormon upbringing, and self-defeating mindset. And, seriously, there really is a section about tacos in here, too.
