Blurryone
Introduction
I'm moving to Shenzhen on January 18th, 2013. I'm originally from Canada although i have been living in phoenix for the past 2.5 years (better climate). I'm moving to china to do Mandarin immersion and to get to know the Chinese culture, and am self employed.
I joined expat.com on 31 October 2012.

Going to school at iMandarin to learn Mandarin and the Chinese culture
The climate can't be beat. I think you can wear shorts and flip flops year round...although that may be a Canadian viewpoint. People in Arizona tend to be very friendly, laid back, and easy to get along with.
Summer in the desert is a little much to take. Average temperatures for 3 to 4 months around 43ºC, which seems a little excessive at times. It doesn't cool off at night.
The mountains, the scenery, it was an outdoor playground. Great golfing, great offroading, hiking, camping, fishing, hunting.
You had to make your own fun, this was both good and bad.
