Going Home

After being in Beijing for only one and a half months, I decided to go home. Friends in the states don't get too excited, I went home to my family in Zhuhai, China. It was nice to go have a home cooked meal by my grandma and have the comfort of being with family. Not to mention Zhuhai is much more peaceful and quiet than Beijing! It is also on the sea and there are palm trees (I love it). The massages are also cheaper in Zhuhai! There is a lot I like about it...
Most importantly, I have family here in China. Many people I meet here ask me how I plan on staying in China for up to two years without going home to see my family and friends and I never put too much thought into it (like everything else I do). I guess it is because I have family here in China and it is my second home. Also, I miss my friends but at the same time I know I will see you all again and here I have the opportunity to meet tons of people and make more friends.
