China days!


Going on week 8 of living in the hotel...the first 4 apartments I saw were disappointing...Apparently there is a  
bit of a difference in Chinese apartments and  American apartments...Learning to compromise is going to be my biggest challenge.  It is okay though. I will find a place.  I am just learning to put up pictures so I will be posting more pictures...things to come...Shirt of the Day get excited for this amazing new blog I will be starting..It will be hopefully a picture a day of one of the random shirts that says something in english that makes no sense. :)  

I find it so hard to believe that it has already been 7 and 1/2 weeks of me living in China.  Life has changed so much over the past 2 months.  I have gone from being so dependent on a car to never wanting to own a car again.  I love not driving I love not having to find parking and I love not having to drive in this crazy city.   I have found myself tasting food I NEVER would have tried in the states just for the sake of trying it.  I have met such amazing people over the past weeks.  Everyone I encounter seems to bring something to my life.  I was telling my sister in law yesterday I have been experiencing one of the weirdest feelings I have had.  I am so complete being in China and yet so incomplete not being around my family.  It is strange.  I miss my family so much but I just want time to slow down over here because it seem like it is passing so quickly.  

Two months ago I was so excited and scared to leave home.  Not knowing a sole coming to China...How quickly that has changed.  I went from knowing know one to having great friends in less than 24 hours. It still amazes me how quickly people can become bonded.  I am loving every minute of this amazing adventure. I have probably talked about it a lot but I love the unknown that is my life.  It is scary and frustrating at times being in this country not speaking the language but most of the time is just nice to be in a place where I feel like I belong.
