No more packing, shipping or cleaning. All I can do now is wait for my flight and hope that I don’t get stuck next to any crying children.

People who deserve special mention for their help over the last 15 months: Kai and Stacy for being better friends to me than I could have hoped for; Yuan Lu for just being her silly, goofy self; Xinping and Fang Qun for making so many arrangements on my behalf; Lihong for kicking my ass when it needed kicking; Yihua and Vicky for always keeping things interesting; Shengping for the great conversations; Tom, Wei and Kevin for their help and friendship. I also owe my parents a huge debt of gratitude. They’ve been paying my bills and managing my house ever since I left last April; I never would have been able to pick up and come over here without them.

And with that, I’m out of here. I’ll see everyone soon!
