back to beijing?

Wow, things just got really interesting...I was given an offer to play a part in a play in Beijing.  I didn't see this coming!  Well, I know that on my last night in Beijing a couple weeks ago, I went to meet the director of the play and auditioned for him.  It was really difficult as I don't speak perfect Mandarin.  This he knew.  But as it turned out, they are doing a Chinese adaptation of an off-Broadway hit called "Love Letters" that was seeking a guy who wasn't a China Chinese native.  I went in for the read, but I left feeling like there was no way...

Well, 2 days ago I got an email from an unknown person and it was entirely in Chinese, so I couldn't read it and had to get it translated by mom.  That took a whole day to hear back and when I finally did, I found out that it was telling me to return to Beijing promptly to start rehearsals for the show!

What the???

Okay folks, I have little time to decide what to do...I got a Chinese contract and scrīpt sent over to me that I have to go get translated now.  If I take this, I gotta go back to Beijing next week and will likely be in Asia till the end of the year - 2 months longer than I thought.  Woa.

I need to go sit in a corner and think.  This is happening too fast.
