Hello wonderful people! This is my second post on a blog that is going to follow me round China, and I want you all to come with me! (Apologies for a year of cheese in advance!)
Recently I have learnt a few more details about my project and exactly where I will be going! I will be going to a small town named Fukang (contain your laughter) that is in the province of Xinjiang. Fukang is about an hour or two's journey out in to the mountains from the capital of the province, Urumqi. Urumqi is a large city that lies on the Silk Road and is very busy and popular with tourists. Urumqi train station is the station that will connect my partner and I to the rest of China, so expect to hear a lot about it!
Speaking of my partner I have also recently found out who I will be spending a whole year of my life with and I could not be happier as he is very similar to me! My partners name is Brian Atugonza and he lives in Saint Albans in England. He is also going to study media related subjects when he returns and is a good laugh! (Not that I'm saying I'm a good laugh, but I am pretty funny..I'm gonna stop now before my head gets to big!)
Even though we're not supposed to find out about our partners until our training in June, a few of us have become expert stalkers and found each other on Facebook. Me and Emma have become particularly good at this as we are desperate to know everyone else!
Who is this Emma I speak of, I hear you ask…well Emma is a lovely girl who I met on my selection course last year and I know I will be friends with her for life as she is also going to China (First Cheesy moment). Emma lives in Glasgow and we have been chatting all year about worries, excitements and plans for when we're there! Only problem is, when she speaks quickly I haven't got a clue what she's saying…but I've found that nodding and saying yes is always the best thing to do when she does this! Emma if you're reading this PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
I have also been told that my rough leaving date will be early August, so best be with me while I'm here (My head is still growing.....sorry!) For now that is all I have for you, and I'm afraid you're going to have to wait eagerly for my next installment (I know you're on the edge of your seat). I expect my next post will be about my training on the isle of Coll!
If anyone would like any more information on my trip or anything for that matter (Not Quantum Physics) feel free to E-mail me at - [email protected]
Reece out!
