QOTD: Imagine you have one full day to drop all obligations (chores, work, cooking, blogging) and go anywhere you wanted regardless of money/time/travel constraints. Where would you go?
Home sweet home, finally!
It feels absolutely AMAZING to be back home, snuggling in my own squishy bed and eating endless slices of real pizza with real cheese on top. This year’s trip to China was definitely the longest we’ve ever had, setting a record of one month and one week! And I could definitely feel the effects of such longevity away from home.
When we stepped off the airplane and into the airport, I got almost excited when I saw Americans walking around with their luggage trolleys and speaking English. I got even more excited when I visited the ladies’ room and realized, no longer did I have to use my own toilet paper–it was provided! Those were the beginning moments of what would become a renewed appreciation for the amazing country that is America. (Yeah, I know Fourth of July is over but it’s never too late to celebrate your country, right?)
Though I am more than happy to be back here in the States, it goes without saying that during the next several months, I will be missing China very much and won’t forget all that I learned this past July. While I do return annually, every single trip offers something new and exhilarating, whether it’s a dubious dish that can’t look more foreign but turns out delicious, or a glimpse at the Chinese countryside, or perhaps a beautiful garden museum filled with Chinese ancient historical tales that seems more fit to be in a fairy storybook.
If you didn’t get the chance to follow my China blog posts at SHB, don’t worry! I have decided to keep a portfolio of “traveling chronicles,” a new project which I have begun and will add on to as I continue to travel in the future. Check back in a day or two, and you can find the portfolio (with “The China Chronicles”) above as a new link on the blog!
Welcome back! :)
