The journey continues…

It’s official. As soon as the mounds of paperwork go through, I’m on my way to W+K Shanghai for six months of work. This has been a long time coming, but the start date looks solid before March. Now it’s just a matter of getting all my non-Peking ducks in order. I’m both excited and nervous over the forthcoming months, but regardless it’s a great opportunity.

Some Pro/Con Assumptions:

Pro:

• Will improve my creative skills, particularly in writing. I’ll be in more of a leadership position.
• Is in a vibrant, though dusty Asian metropolis.
• Good money.
• Limited time frame, unless it turns into something longer.
• J. will be there too.

Con:

• I will be insanely busy and stressed.
• Will feel a little lost in the beginning.
• Won’t get to see J. as much.
• Shanghai isn’t as nice to walk/bike around in as Beijing.

More news as it develops.
