My month in China is one that I will never forget and it was filled with sights that are indescribable. I knew going into this trip that it would be one of epic proportions, though I had no idea of the effect that it would actually have on me. I've been trying to describe what it was like to climb the Great Wall, or stay on that little island, or notice the differences in the small towns like Suzhou and the huge cities like Shanghai - but it's impossible. Everything that we got to experience in the last month is just something that can't be understood unless you see it too. I keep telling everyone that they absolutely have to go to China if they ever get the chance. It was epic.
As much fun as I had, I was ready to come home and get back into a routine, play some music, and hang out with my friends and my kitty. And all I wanted was to get my bags back safely - which was a concern especially because I bought one at a Carrefour equivalent for about 180 yuan - which isn't much. As soon as I tried wheeling it around at the airport it was apparent that the bag was only gonna make it for this one trip and I just wanted to get it on the plane. Alex helped me put it back together and then after a quick run through with security it was good to go.
I was so tired that morning that I fell asleep on the runway before the plane even took off. By the time we were in the air and I no longer had any idea where we were, I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get to say my final goodbye to China. I guess I'm the kind of person that doesn't really do goodbyes anyway - I like "see ya later"(s). I really hope that I will have the opportunity to travel back and say hi to China again someday.
