Goodbye China: Take One
It's hard to believe that I'll be leaving Bei Wai campus, my home since August, in about one hour. From there I'll take a chartered bus to the airport where I'll hang out with about 15 classmates as we wait for our flights to leave. At 5pm Friday evening local time, my plane from Beijing Shoudou Gouji Jichang (International Airport) will take off. Here's the kicker...it will land at 5:36 pm Friday evening in Newark. A 36 minute flight back to the U.S. If only that were true.
I'm a little worried though about the weather in Newark. I'm sure ya'll in the states know more about then I do, but it sounds pretty bad. I'll get home eventually though; I'm sure ready for some catfish, hushpuppies, and fried green tomatoes too.
Once I get home, I'm sure that I'll have a few more posts reflecting on the trip. But for now I'm just ready to get home.
