Beijing has changed a lot in the past year and a half that I have been here. Everyday a new building reveals itself or another subway line opens. Its amazing how fast the rate of change is here. The thing I love about this city is not all the tall buildings that go on forever but whats mixed in with that is the old, such as hutongs, temples, neat neighborhoods with their own characteristics, 后海和南锣鼓巷,长城, and the old Chinese guys with their shirt folded half-way up smoking a cigarette and always ready to spit a big loogie.
I've made the decision to move down south to be with Catalina, to find work, and also to be closer to my family. I'm sad about leaving Beijing but I am also excited about the future I have ahead of me. Its going to be interesting and I'm glad I've decided to take this step as it is time I make some commitments and take on some responsibility.
I think next time I come to Beijing, I'm not going to recognize anything. I'll be sure to add pictures of Beijing to this later.
See you later, Beijing! Thanks for the great memories and I'm sure there are still more good times to come!
