Just joined this site. I'm Nancy. It looks awesome so far! I moving to Barcelona to further my TEFL training and hopefully secure a job there. I start classes June 3rd. If you have any tips or advice for first-timer moving to a new country, especially wheelchair accessible groups or links, please send them my way, if not, just drop by and say 'hi' ... maybe we can get a cafe con leche when I arrive and get settled?? Keep smiling :)

Hi Yingyan,

Hi Christine, thanks for the welcome!!

Hello Nancy,

Thanks for telling me. Now I know what TEFL is.

The biggest change to me after living in Barcelona? I would say it's yet to come. I'm still what I am. Here in Barcelona is another world but nothing fundamental different from what in China. I'm still myself. :)

My point is that in everywhere of the world, the difference is outside,i.e. the life style, but inside it's quite similar.

What is your opinion?

Best Regards,
Ying

Hello Nancy,

More questions. Where are you from? Where is "Newfoundland"? :) Have you ever any experiences of living abroad?

Best Regards,
Ying
