I was able to do this for the 2007/2008 school year, and taught Senior Level 1 students (equivalent to our Grade 10) at Jianghua #2 Middle School in Jianghua, Hunan Province. I lived there, and travelled extensively in the surrounding countryside. I also travelled to Yongzhou, Changsha, Jiangyong, LanShan, Yangshuo, Guilin, Kunming, Dalian, Lijiang, and Hong Kong. What an amazing year, and I can't wait to do it again! The townspeople were so friendly and kind (there were only two foreigners ~ myself and one other teacher ~ in the town), and our students were diligent, disciplined, and made every effort to include us in their daily lives.
