Back in California

Do you see the ocean in the background? Oh yes, on Sunday I went for a hike with nice views and lots of fresh air. It was wonderful!

Beijing was an adventure alright. I had an incredible time and enjoyed the four weeks tremendously. Now it's back to work. And while the air is fresh and the sky is blue, I miss the carefree feeling of being on vacation, exploring my new surroundings, and spending hours on end in a coffee shop trying to pound more and more Chinese characters into my head. I want to continue to xuexi hanyu and plan to return to China in due time.
