Goodbye China! We will miss You…

It’s difficult to believe that we shown up in China over a year ago, as well as now we’ve already left. So numerous remarkable things occurred while we resided in China. We were able to discover a bit of a new language (more than we ever do travelling with a country). We made solid new friendships with both locals as well as expats as well as we broadened our monetary horizons for a semi-nomadic future.

We absolutely fell in like with China as well as leaving wasn’t simple at all. stating good-bye to everybody we had satisfied was difficult enough, however bidding farewell to the nation itself shown to be surprisingly difficult. We’d ended up being so accustomed to walking Chinese streets, seeing Chinese people, eating Chinese food as well as living the Chinese method of life that we discovered it difficult to pull away.

Of program travel was always our plan as well as we’re incredibly thrilled to be in Mongolia now, however part of us is still back in China somehow. There are so numerous things we’ll miss about China! We discover ourselves stating Xie Xie (thank-you in Mandarin) to confused Mongolians. We already crave Dong Bei (Northern Chinese food) as well as we miss our friends. Of program there are some things we won’t miss about China, however they are far out of our minds at this point.

Surely the hardest good-bye was our farewell to Standy, our welfare officer/personal assistant/close friend. He had done so much for us all year as well as we had ended up being extremely close with him. He is one of the kindest people we have ever satisfied as well as we will permanently keep in mind him.
