My blog has moved

My blog has moved to www.offexploring.com/chris@canhamworld.co.uk. It is an easier site for me to access here in China.

Countdown to lift off

Well here I am with less than 24hrs to departure. Passport.. Check.. Visa... Check... Boarding passes.... Check
Will be in Beijing by sunday morning and starting day one of my adventure.
Hope the bags aren't overweight!

3 weeks to go.

Got my flight details now and will be flying out on 15 Sep as expected. 3 weeks in Beijing for training before moving on to Shenzen. I find that 23kg is not a lot so might be paying for more.

I know now that I will be sharing my a flat with 2 women and a family. Sounds like the perfect way to get to know China and how people live.

fundraising and farewells

Thanks to everyone who has donated £500 raised so far

No more events as there is only 5 weeks to go!

Lots of farewells beginning already. Just met up with Nicola who is going to the Gambia next month. She is off to her mum's in Kent before she goes so it is sad to think I won't see her now for who knows how long. We have been through training and preparing together and we will keep in touch while on placement because we will be doing the same job - just on different continents.

This is where I will be living from September for a year
