We have been stateside now for almost two months and I'm not going to lie when I say it is taking some getting used to.
I have so much to catch up on from just our last month in China (where I was without a computer and couldn't update) but first I want to give my initial thoughts on the experience as a whole.
The first thought that comes to mind about our 2 year is adventure is "I have lived in China, I can live ANYWHERE...bring it on".
Some other thoughts as I reminesce and remember.
- I miss having an ayi and most times I miss having a driver.
-I miss having an ayi...ok, ok...I know you all know that I miss that but really I do:)
-I miss the big city. I miss walking down the street for my coffee, vegetables, you name it.
-I miss running into my friends daily at the bus stop or out and about.
-I miss the view from our apartment.
-I miss my photohunts of the city that I would go on. I miss getting lost in the little alleys.
-shopping
-I miss my massages (really cheap massages)
Some reasons I am glad to be back to the States:
-clean air
-safe food
-being back in our house.
-being closer to family
-everyday communication (ie, people speaking English!)
So there it is in a nutshell. We are back. It has been easier than expected but still hard at the same time, if you know what I mean.
I will post some pictures from our final months there but that will take some time to compile.
