4．I earned my graduate degree in the UK and planned to live there.But things didn't go to plan.I found a great job in America，teaching drama.Years passed and I still hadn't made it back to Europe.I did，however，find myself working at a university.This is when China knocked on my door.
The university encouraged us to attend classes as part of our professional development.They offered two foreign language choices：Chinese and Japanese.For I liked Chinese food a little more，I decided to take the course.Two terms in，and I was hooked!I co-founded the Chinese Culture Club at school.We attended the Spring Festival celebration hosted by our local Chinese community center.I learned to make baozi and tried out my fledgling language skills at the local Chinese restaurant.
The club decided on a foster （寄養(yǎng)） home that supported orphans （孤兒）.It helped me make a decision to visit China.After all，if I'm going to learn a language，I might as well go to the country itself!So I made arrangements with the foster home to volunteer in exchange for lodgings.My stay would be three weeks.
A year of language learning did not prepare me for the culture.Firstly，dirt roads，stray dogs，limited indoor heating and the language problem made me very worried.Luckily，the people there helped me work through the change from America to China.
Once the initial shock wore off，I was completely charmed.The food was amazing，the people were friendly and curious，and the children were cute.My Chinese was pushed to its limit.I used my weekends to take in everything from the Forbidden City，the Summer Palace and the Great Wall.I also took a trip to the Shaolin Temple in Henan province.
And，just as I was getting comfortable，it was time to go home.I knew before I left that I would return，not just for a visit，but to live.
Ten long years later，a chance came itself I left everything except my 16-year-old cat，Darcy，and we are now happily two years into our new lives in Beijing.
It took me a decade to move to China.And
it was worth the wait.
