Sad Times.....
Submitted by Seth Storby on Thu, 2007-01-25 15:15.So this is my last blog, on the last day, after walking in the back streets one last time to get to the internet cafe. As I thought of which of the four questions I was going to answer I realized how much I am going to miss China. I have never wanted to leave, but the situation hit me as I walked by the Forbidden City at midnight last night with one of my classmates. While we were both in pain due to the freezing temperatures, I realized that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It was not just because I was with a great friend that I found on this trip, but to me I feel strangely at home being away from home. For how weird that sounds coming from me (anyone who really understands me knows that I like living in the same area for extended periods of time), this trip I have been comfortable with constantly moving around China. With that sensation, plus the same kind of experience from my Ecuador trip last J-term, I have realized that I really want to spend some of my professional career traveling the world. This might not seem like a big revelation to most, but this trip has now shown me something that I thought I would never want to do.......
