You seem to be everywhere in Asia. I am a little bit curious about your encounter with Chengdu though. Most people don't know this place unless they study chinese. i mean, did you study there or some programs for exchange? I apologize for asking many personal questions. my school is cooperating with me to create some intership in Chengdu, so I am kind of wondering this.

[matthewvaughan]

I moved to Chengdu in 2005 becuse I wanted to live in China, and I spent two years there, with a year in Montreal in between. In 2008 I moved from Chengdu to Bangkok, which is where I still live. I didn't study in Chengdu, I worked as a teacher there.

I hope your internship creation goes well. Good luck ;)

strange but cool music, how did you come across it?

[matthewvaughan]

It was a really popular song in China a few years back, around 2005-2006. There's a Mandarin version as well as the Mongolian one, and that one would often play in stores and on the radio.

see, I am always interested in people's motivation of moving to another totally different culture, mainly because that is exactly what I want to do. I mean, how do you put yourself into an environment just like that?
