Getting Ready

It has been months in the offing, but the time will soon be here. January 19th I begin my adventure! I will be teaching English in Chamgang Lower Secondary School, a half hour's drive from Thimphu. For me, this will be the best of both worlds. I will experience the countryside, and I will be close to a city, with all the comforts of home. What more could one ask for?

The preparations have been long and arduous. The complexity of preparing for an adventure such as this have been extremely strenuous at times. But with all the worry and consternation came periods of intense excitement. As I pack up my belongings, preparing to store them for a period of time, I have found myself reflecting on the choices that have brought me to this point in my life and highly anticipate this next upcoming adventure. What will it really be like? Where will I live? Besides my wonderful lake, what will I miss the most? These are all questions that will be answered shortly.

So, these are the issues I am currently wrestling. Only time holds the answers to my questions.
