The last of Beijing, and my problems in China..
Is it weird that I’m getting bored with these posts about my past? That isn’t good!! There is nothing boring at all about them, but I feel like I’m living in the past day in and day out.

If you don’t count Japan, which was really my home and not a vacation destination, it was basically my first travel abroad, ever. Actually, I’ve never gone “abroad” since then, either, and this was in the winter of 2007. It’s been almost five years, and it’s high time that I remedy that! (This fall, it’s Hello London! I’m super excited! Going to have a jolly good time, cheerio! Don’t shoot me!) Back to Beijing! It was a big culture shock! I…
