The Far East

So, thinking of things to do once I finish this undergrad uni crap, one of the possibilities I'm liking at the moment is to go to China and teach English for 12 months or so. They really, really want English teachers so you can get pretty sweet deals if you have a degree. Stuff like they pay for your flight, accommodation, teach you Mandarin, give you 'how to teach English' training, and take you on free trips to various places. And a salary of course. Sounds pretty sweet. It'd be easiest to get a job in Beijing and it might be most convenient for the other crap I'd like to do, though I would like to spend time in regional China. Maybe the tours would cover that, though China is a big place.
My other goal for being there would of course to become awesome at wushu, or at least better. I figure if I want to spend time mangling my body into the superior form required for good wushu fitness then I should do it ASAP because it just gets harder and more painful the older I get. Spending time in Japan learning Karate is something I want to do too, but I can probably get away with putting that off more than I can get away with putting wushu off. Besides which the wushu training would undoubtedly help with karate, just from the flexibility training if nothing else, while the inverse is not as true.
Then there is the whole going to Europe thing. That would also be awesome, but the downsides are that I have no idea how I'd pay for it and that I might regret the time not spent achieving something. Oh yeah, or I could just go do a PhD straight away, but I'm thinking I won't do that, even if I get a crap score for honours and risk losing it. Fuck it, I'll find something else to do if they don't let me do one later. There is too much to do to not go do cool stuff like this. I can learn more about the mysteries of the universe later. Besides, the mysterious of the mind and body are quite interesting as well and I would be learning about them in China.

Gotta get through this semester of research craziness before I can go anywhere anyway, nuts. Hopefully it won't be too horrible.

Also, are there snowfields near Beijing? Being able to snowboard in China would be a mega plus.

Lol, besides, I need to learn Chinese for the day they inevitably conquer the world. "I for one welcome our Chinese overlords!"

I leave you with this video of wushu awesomeness:



Also this one because it is pretty funny. It took me a moment to catch on to what the heck was going on :p.



Ok, one last thing. This is my latest SPORE creature. Tell me what you think it looks like. Fudgeman, no answering! J, looking at you in particular for this one :p. Unless I just suck too much and it isn't very recognisable. Hopefully I can improve it one I have more creature parts.




...Ok one more thing! Just saw this in the comments section of a shit video on youtube, it was copy/pasted many times :p. I found it hilarious. I post it here for you that you may find it useful for group spam-flaming:
