Details for anyone anticipating the China internship

Greetings from Shangnan, Shaanxi, China! This is the city in which I have been placed for my internship though i-to-i, with Teach and Travel China (TTC) under the Shangnan Senior School.  All that to say that by the time you get out here you can feel as though you've passed through many hands.  :)   Not everyone's experience is the same, in fact I would venture to say that there are barely two alike!  So...

Also, being up to date on your DPT (diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus) and MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) is required, but chances are you're up to date on those. Also, Japanese encephalitis is recommended, so I went ahead and got that. And you will need to get either the shot or pill form of the Typhoid vaccine. I-to-I says that we will not be in malaria infested areas, so we wont need to worry about that, but I chose south China on my application and malaria is found in places in southern China. So even with i-to-i saying we're safe from that, I figured mosquitos can travel, plus the pills were cheap for malaria prevention so I did get a prescription for those, I figured why not.  I hope that helps!
