Welcome to Orient Orientation II!
Hmmmm. If this is Orient Orientation the second, "what happened to the first?", you may ask. Well, I created Orient Orientation I using Google's Blogger service in September 2012 to chronicle my adventures moving to, living in, and working in Xi'an, China. It was a great blog (check it out at orientorientation.blogspot.com), and Blogger is very easy to use. However, upon arriving in China in October 2012, I began having "technical difficulties" accessing that site (and other Google-based services like gmail) in order to make posts.
