Some general vague outline of the internship

Hi Everyone,

I've met with Brent and he's really nice, very animated.

The Beijing complex is in a neighborhood of apartment building/townhouses. CC rents ~20 units and we'll be living in one of the units. Each unit has a main room, kitchen, bathroom, and 2-3 bedrooms.

These are things he'll let you know later, but you might want to know now.

the children's homes and group homes, and offices are on the same complex. Staff live and work onsite. So we'll be seeing a lot of each other.

There is a washing machine, and AC, wireless. No microwave in the current unit I'm in. I'll be switching units soon, we'll all live on the fourth floor. It could be very hot.

There is a "general" store on the complex, and supermarkets within walking distance.

sorry if I'm redundant sometimes.

Bring a charge converter. Bring breakfast food if you don't want to spend money on it (which wouldn't be much money any ways, but if you have favorites, do bring some). Bring those bars, nutribars or something for snacking.

We don't have a microwave in the unit I'm currently in. Not sure if the new unit does.
Gas stoves.
Cold shower (heater was broken). but it's ok, you'll get used to it :)

We'll be issued cell phones. to be reached 24/7 (according to Brent).

um... one tourist book said to eat the scorpions on a stick. They are creepy looking, saw them yesterday. another book said only tourists eat the scorpions. They don't look very meaty.

Don't know what else to share. Post your comments/questions on a POST, not as a comment. I can't open blogs.

Oh, and some bathroom stalls, no door. There are two buttons to flush, I think the small one is for #1, and the moonshaped one for the other. Different amounts of water.

Probably bring a nalgene bottle, if you reuse the plastic ones here, supposedly there is a chemical released or something... not sure. Don't drink tap water. There is water in a big jug provided by CC for refilling bottles. When cooking noodles, use that water.

ok, not sure what else to say, hope things are well with you all. Someone please bring their laptop :) I can't focus on reading from a PDA.
