So that’s pretty much it! Done. The story is over.
I will be leaving Changchun tomorrow (4th August) and (most probably ) China on the 5th at 13.50. Should get to London at 17.50 UK time.
I almost certainly shall never live in Changchun again, when I return to China it will be elsewhere. Despite what people may think, this is a good city to live In, It is a nice place and I’m certain I shall miss aspects of my life here once I’m back in the UK.

Having read through much of my blog in recent weeks, I think that If I had read this before I came to Changchun I probably wouldn’t have come!
I want to say, that there are of course pitfalls to coming here to work, but, by and large it has been a really positive experience. I have enriched myself and have many new life experiences – which If I had never come here – I am certain I would never had the opportunity to have.
Even In bad times, I have never regretted my decision to come here and I think that speaks for Itself.
The experiences have allowed me to develop thoughts on new things and have given me a sense of direction that I previously never had. Furthermore, It has also given me an opportunity to focus my understanding not just of other peoples, but more profoundly of myself. I have adpated to various situations and have been able to solve many problems that have come up in my daily life, this also makes me feel better as a person.
For that I am very happy.
Goodbye Changchun!
再见长春！

Hi,
I wish you a good return in the UK.
It was a pleasure to read your blog along your stay.
Believe it or not, it made me want to go there. (Fortunately I will)

Hello David,
I never had a chance to say goodbye to you. I left Changchun on July 21 and I’ve been in Dalian for almost a month now. Well, I am actually in Lvshun — that little place in Dalian forbidden to foreigners.
Good luck with your new life. I miss Changchun too!
Regards,
Thomas

I would like to learn more about your experiences at Jilin as I have been accepted as a teacher there for 2008. Is there a possibility we can talk about the problems that arose while you were there?
