November 9th 2013 @ 12 am

November 9th 2013 around 12 am was the night I left Beijing. Although it was only a few days ago, I am missing my friends already. The day leading up to my departure was crazy, well I was crazy. haha I had to work that day and planned on coming home to take a nap. Clearly that didn't happen!!!!

A couple of my friends wanted to meet up before I left so I said "come on over". So that night it was my flatmate Claire, Miya, Jenny, Jack, and Maggie. We had dinner and talked about our lives in China. They all stayed until I literally got into the taxi to head to the airport. Miya even called to arrange a taxi to pick me up outside my apartment. I haven't felt so LOVED in a long time and I will always be grateful to them. We all hugged and some of us cried as we said our goodbyes. As you can see in the photos Claire was a wreck and Maggie was trying to hide her sadness by pretending to tie her shoe. HAHA 

Anyways, I decided to write because it is too dark in my bungalow and the lighting isn't great. I never write but this wasn't so bad...maybe I will write more in the future. I just wanted to make a post about these five people that I truly love and they all have helped me in many ways during the challenging 14 months I lived in China.
