Dear Mr. Stromberg,
* * authorial interjection: apologies, but details on Mexico trip will come later * *
Dear Mr. Stromberg,
I am pleased to offer you employment as English Teaching Assistant (ETA) of The Hong Kong Institute of Education (the "Institute") on the terms and conditions listed below.
Your employment is conditional upon you obtaining and maintaining a valid visa to work in Hong Kong.
Your "Commencement Date" will be 3 August 2007 or when you are granted a work visa to work in Hong Kong, whichever is the later date.
You will be employed on Non-regular Terms for an 11-month contract (the "Fixed Term") from the Commencement Date until 2 July 2008, when your contract of employment will automatically terminate due to the lapse of time.
You will be provided with a single occupancy of a double bed room in the student halls.
You will be entitled to 14 working days of vacation leave during the period of employment. No encashment will be made for any untaken leave balance.
If you wish to travel outside Hong Kong/Guangdong during your vacation leave, you should seek permission from the programme. The maximum time you are allowed to be outside of Hong Kong for vacation leave during the period of employment is 14 days.
You will be entitled to gazetted general holidays and one rest day in every period of seven days.
Yours sincerely,
***
Human Resources Manager

I will be teaching "future teachers and primary students" as a TA/language lab person, and organizing cross-cultural programming. I will be taking three course modules, in Cantonese, Hong Kong Studies, and Teaching English as a Second Language.
It still sounds really cool to me. And the food situation, and the first-time-in-Asia thing, and the oh-god-I'll-be-so-awkwardly-tall thing... it's a lot to digest, but I still have two months to wrap my head around it. In any event, looking forward to it already with mixture of trepidation and adrenal excitement.
Oh, and Mexico was one of the best trips I've ever taken. But more about that later. It also left me exhausted, congested, pepto-bismol'd, and with some serious tan lines. So I will sit down and try to write everything about it soon, just not at the moment.

Welcome to the Jungle of Asia! Weee! Expect me to drop by and say hi sometime, probably September. And of course, there will always be room for you at El' Granto's Japanese Hacienda of Awesomeness. Or whatever.
