a lot has happened while I was gone..
I’m sitting here at the SK airport once again waiting for my flight back to Dalian – the longest layover ever! Seven-hours! Sheesh. But I figure it’ll be good time to catch up on my site and upload photos. I’m extremely drained. My eyes are shutting down as I type this. I’m on my third cup of coffee, but it’s not helping. So I’ll be quick and I’m apologizing now for any randomness and writing errors.
First and foremost, I finally got my Chinese work visa! Yes, finally. This work visa grants me a one-year stay in China. Which means no more flying in and out and no more extensions! A very good thing because I’m already running out of pages in my new passport!!
My five days home came and went. Man, it flew by! I miss my family, friends and my dog already. Had a sweet ass time kicking it with my nephews and nieces, who have grown so much since I last saw them five months ago. My five-year-old nephew Donovan rips it on his razor scooter now! It freaked me out. I really thought he was going to eat pavement going at the speed he was going down the hill, but he didn’t! Pheww! Anyway, a lot has happened while I was gone. I was caught up on a lot of things, which got me thinking – did I pick a bad year to move abroad? Hmmm… I’ll break it down for you:
BABY CONGRATS to my…

Yep definitely missing out on heaps of stuff this year. But nah, no regrets. Things happen for a reason and I’m having the time of my life. If I missed naming anyone in my congrats list, I apologize. Super exhausted at the mo, and I’m close to crashing out on this airport chair. Overall, I had a sweet short trip home. Three hours left in SK…. I’m going to take a nap. Hopefully I don’t over sleep and miss my flight 🙂
Signing off… See you guys in China, currently nowThe Land With No Access to Facebook!

Yeah, time goes by too fast. It was great seeing your ass for five days. Everyone here enjoyed it dearly. I know it must of been hard adjusting back to your lifestyle out here, but I’m pretty sure you’ve managed. Once again, it’s my turn to go away for 6 months and play sailor. I’m pretty sure it’ll go by quick. For sure though I’ll hit you up when we’ll be in Japan. I would fly out to China but I highly doubt it they’ll let me go.
Well have fun and keep up the good work Little Sis. We all miss you much…..
A small trip to China sounds like a plan 🙂 If you can of course. It would be awesome! I’m sure Japan is going to be sweet though. Super jealous. Keep me posted on your travels. Miss you muchos. Oh and make sure to call mom once a week; she’ll freak out if we don’t. Wǒ Ai Nǐ (I love you) Have fun!
