I'm nearing the end of my second teaching gig, in Shandong, and will be glad to return to Shanxi, where my first gig took place.
Shanxi people are good people, unlike the arrogant citizens of Qingdao. By and large, they are inhospitable to foreigners. The only good things about that city are the beach and the beer. I can hardly wait to return to Yuncheng, where the real China and its real people can be found!
