After a lot of time of thinking it over and picking through all the cons I have figured out my goal for next year. My plan for next year sometime after I finish my studies in France is to move to China. I think that Chinese would make the ideal 3rd language for me to focus on. It is challenging in one way but in other ways its actually pretty simple. For those of you who know anything about studying foreign languages, the best way to earn it is to dive yourself right in and be surrounded by it all the time.
Chinese is the language in the world spoken by more people that any other language. Albeit they are mostly in China that could change over the next few decades. China's economy is continuously bringing more money into the country and definitely holds a huge role in the role of the future of our world.
I worked out the options of have I'm going to fund this and determined that I can teach English since the language is on huge demand. I will have to further hone in on my English skills since sometimes grammar can be killer, yet with purpose the drive is there to get it done. As being a teacher there one can get housing and a salary. The salary won't be huge, yet it will be definitely livable with housing already covered.
It seems like the perfect challenge in the next stage of my life. As I continuously strive to see what I can do to help further improve myself and the world around me this option is the one that my heart pulls me towards. It is funny that amount of things that can change in a year. Last year at this time is when I came down to knowing that I would be going to France. Now I know I'm going to China. I can hardly imagine how many daily adventures will occur there. Right now I'm just trying to put together everything that I need to make this work. Anyone that has any insights feel free to let me know. Thanks!

Awesome! My friend Ding majored in Chinese and INternational Affairs in college and has been to China. I will see if he has any advice he can give you!
p.s. He also went there to teach English.
I have a friend (Mitchell--you know him) who does that in Japan. I could refer you to his video blog, or ask him any questions. Albeit, Japan isn't China...
Any information you help me with or and websites you know of would be great. Thanks guys.
