Hello/Ni Hao/Hola/Konnichiwa/Ahlan wa Sahlan everyone! My name is Lorelei, and I am from the United States, more specifically Wisconsin. I'm 26, having completed an army contract for five years which took me to Iraq twice and was put into immersion classes for Modern Standard Arabic. I'm really interested in doing TEFL, because I see it as an excellent way to view the world while not always being on vacation. It also gives me the option to change things constantly since I have recently discovered I get bored sitting still in one place. I am working towards a bachelor's degree to expand my teaching options. I'd love to go anywhere, really, but the ultimate destination for me is...Japan! I love the culture, I love the food, and I love the anime. I'm really interested in foreign languages and cultures-it amazes me how different they are from the States. Joining a community like this one looks to be a gateway into experiencing the world, and best of all not just for a week, but for a few months at the least. I'm signed up and ready to go on the China Internship-February 2011. I can't wait!! Add me on facebook at www.facebook.com/lorelei.harp

Yeah i've been busy with my friend from England being here. She's stayed a lot longer than I thought she would, so i've been trying to find things to do.
Hope you're teaching is going smoothly still!
Speak soon!
Oooh. You're in China now!! How is it??
I'll message you my number! :)
Get a placement yet?

Hey, (this is dave) really really sorry, megan and I came to meet you but went to the wrong terminal! so so sorry about that, only just got online and checked your message. If you can drop me a text tomorrow on +447959629131 and we can arrange a time to meet, hop in a taxi and bring you back.
We're just relieved you're ok, see you soon!
Dave & Megan
Hi Loreleieve's, I arrived this morning at the Sanlitun Youth Hostel. It's cheap as chips,really friendly & after I've had a good kip i'm off out for a little mooch about...
When are u planning to arrive & where?
Probably see u soon aye? :o)
Haha, um, I haven't booked my flights because well, I'm putting the finishing touches to my course! :/
Needless to say, it's going to be a frantic few days...although the plan is to get in around the 1st of the month, depends on family in Dubai. It's crazy, potentially I could be on the other side of the whole in a matter of weeks and I still have a ton of stuff at work to finish up before I leave!
Hey!
So, you said hello in november and I've taken my sweet ass time to respond, awfully sorry about that, very rude of me :/
What an incredibly intriguing name you have, never come across anyone who's name "has been poetically personified as the Lorelei, whose singing lures men to destruction." That's awesome! Can't wait to meet you in a few weeks!
Dave
Hey! I hope you had a good Christmas :) I'm actually sticking around in China for a bit - going to be working for a travel company in Beijing, so maybe I'll come say hello to you new interns when you arrive! I've only got 2 more days teaching - I can't believe how fast its gone... bet you're getting excited :)
They're not really haha, still waiting on my visa invitation!
Yes, gonna be awesome!!
Well, they have placements in my city, I am sure some of the interns will get put here. Hopefully it'll be you! :)
