Chinese New Year (2011)

Chinese new year is a big deal here in China. Almost everyone will leave what they are doing for a 10 days vacation and go back to celebrate with their family. My school had a new year party during which everyone had to do a performance. Because I speak French, I was asked to sing a French song, which I did. I was quite nervous doing this in front of about 200 people but I think I did good enough given the circumstances. Here is my performance and other videos from the party.

I really enjoyed my time that day and I appreciate greatly the chance I had to work here in China. Leaving Canada to work abroad has been one of the best decisions I have taken in life as far as I can see. Living here is extremely less stressful than what I was used to back home and I have so much free time I can read, play and learn more than I ever could before.

The first 3 months have been great and I am looking forward to the remaining 9 and beyond.
