After plenty 'o deliberation, I decided to accept the position in Donggang.
I think I was hesitant because larger cities have a certain allure; being an urbanite is sexy. I say that because I grew up in a very small town. Aside from visiting my parents and seeing old friends, Chilton, WI has nothing to offer me - the routine of life there is pretty stagnant. On subconscious level, I equated Donggang with my hometown, and that made me cringe. After talking to a few friends, I realized it was an awful comparison and my aversion to Donggang was more emotional than rational. Donggang will be plenty stimulating and more congruous with my goals on the island. I am happy with my decision.
So, yeah. Job hunting is officially over. Time to start the process of obtaining a work permit, finding housing, and planting some roots. Wooohoooo !
