Hi! I'm Gina, a twenty-something year old ABC girl. I was originally born in Beijing, grew up in the Bay Area, and now currently work in Beijing. Summarized: 北 to Bay to 京. Putting years of Chinese school to good use! For those of us who are visual learners and thanks to my three years of art class, I created this drawing to help demonstrate the transition:
**Not drawn to scale.**
This status also makes me a turtle of some sort (see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haigui). I'm also pretty awkward, so I find the term Awkward Turtle very befitting.
Anyway, hopefully this will be a good guide for anyone who's just moved to Beijing. More specifically, a good guide for anyone who moves to Beijing who happens to have the similar/same interests as me, or as a dear friend would like to say, "Gina*ists would enjoy this site."
