So these two months went by so quickly, I’m overwhelmed. It seemed like yesterday I was dying in the summer heat of Beijing but just yesterday I had to grab a jacket? Autumn is coming, and I am ready for it!
Before we move on, let’s reflect on the lovely times I have had in July and August. I was in three different countries, Lithuania, France, and China (duh). I was able to go on vacation with Johnny’s fam to Lithuania. Fun fact, there is a totem pole in the middle of the forest erected in honor of his great-grandfather, did ya know? So we found that. We also spent a lovely two nights at a spa in the middle of no where right next to…. a death metal festival. Let me tell you we some some interesting outfits.
We also went on a vacation with my family, we hit up the tourist attractions in Beijing, then Xi’an to see the Terra-cotta Warriors, and finally super-western Shanghai. It was really amazing to show my family our home in Beijing and to explore more of China together. I will say that I’m getting stressed in a really silly way. The longer we stay in China, the more places I have added to my list of where I want to go. I could write, like, 100 cities on my radar blog posts. Chengdu, Xi’an AGAIN, Laos, Thailand, Japan (this one should be coming, Feb 2019), SO MANY.
So far, these past six months in Beijing have been amazing. I think I love it here, even though some times I hate it here.
Do you live in Asia? If you do, where should I visit! I need to see as much as I can see!
