We are now less than four months from the end of post here and will be returning to our home on June 12th. With the time left so short, I am getting a bit melancholy about the great parts of living here.
Here are a few things that I will certainly miss:
1 our e-bikes and not having a car
2. the easiness of life-- no bankbook, no cleaning, no yard work, no shoveling snow, no voting, no Church
3. lots of freedom for Renata and Luca
4. Watching them develop confidence b/c of all of their freedom
5. cute Chinese babies
6. my lovely students
7. struggling and sometimes succeeding with the language
8 learning about the culture from Cindy and Heather
9. Chinese food, duh
9 amazing travel
10 riding on the back of Vic's bike, even on silly errands
11 seeing unbelievable scenes of daily life everyday (yesterday mom and three kids on one e-bike, kid in front is facing her)
12 fabulous colleagues
13 walking to work
14 shopping everyday instead of once a week
15 cute little shops
That is all that I can think of for now. I am sure that I have missed more. Next post will be what I won't miss...
