I guess this is an approiate forum to post this. Got a call yesterday that I have a teaching job in China. So now I am scrambling to get things in storage to leave here on 29th. This is a major life change for me since I have not had to put stuff in storage before. Overnighted passport to travel agency for Visa application process via Consulate. So I am kinda set. Just need to get stuff into storage and sell the car. May try to say hello when I get there. But no jobs here. What is someone to do? Live on the street? I'm going to Shenyang if anyone is curious which city I'll be in. Let me know when the economy gets better. I may consider returning.

you figure there would be teaching jobs in the state..
so is that you just want a new opening to doors of a brighter day
as for selling your car. well either sell it for dirt cheap or check into car dealers.
my sister when she was traveling around, she had bought a car and she came home for awhile and the guy she was seeing i guess i would say he convinced her to go with him to hawaii. they lived there on and for for 5yrs. both her kids were born there... but any how. she left the car on the side of the road with a note on the dash with the tital and the keys. later on my mom got a letter from the califorma police that she was involved in a hit-n run.. which was totally inpossible. for she wasent around. my mom called them and gave them the info... i have no clu what ever happen to that guy that got the car.. for never heard anything after that...
so if you end up at the very end of time. make sure you do it right, even maybe give it to a friend so they could sell it for you.

by the way i wish you luck..

Wow, what a huge life change for you! I hope things are going well for you.
