We are also putting together a love/hate list knowing full well that we will miss China far more then we ever missed the states. The things we won't miss pale by comparison to what one leaves behind. We miss the states and our friends, but China has gotten its fingers (claws) into us and we know that we will miss it once we have moved back. At least you got to see some of the raw beauty that is China, more then the standard tour, or visiting family member, will ever see. And as much as people back home will marvel and talk about how brave you were to live in a communist country (we believe this will happen just from our last few winters home), you'll be able to talk about how China isn't what's on the news, how different it is, and how amazingly friendly and outgoing it's people are. We are at 28 days left and counting, we are expecting a hard landing once we come back to the states... Crazy isn’t it?
