Beijing... 2nd home? Current mood: complacent I just read crystal's blog and I can't imagine it either. It's almost over, we do only have 6 wks left. I don't want to leave, it's like a dream here -- the freedom, makes everything worthwhile. I feel as if going back to Hawaii is like going back to a caged estate. But that doesn't mean that I dont love nor miss my family and friends, just that I'm not done growing and exploring on my own. I know that I won't be doing any of this if it weren't for my parents paying for everything. I owe them every ounce of happiness that I have found here. I know my duties as a daughter that's why I really look foward to coming back to Beijing, I didn't think i'd love it here so much, but I do. Maybe my friends have a bigger impact on my love of this place than I thought, but isn't it true that 'one can always make more friends?' i just dont like the idea nor feeling of my friends leaving, it's sad, but i'm also very excited to see my friends again in hawaii! :) I guess i shouldn't feel so bad b/c this is a place I can always come back to, and for that, I am tremendously thankful. I can't wait till I graduate and start my career here. Somewhere in China, Japan or Korea or anywhere else for that matter of fact. I can't believe i've grown so fond of this place! I can't wait to come back during New Years!
