For the last two summers I struggled a little with going to China, mostly because we never took vacations (we haven’t taken a real vacation since our honeymoon) because of spending most of our summer either in China or planning for China. As of right now, it doesn’t look like we will be going to China (the trip got cancelled) and I am at a loss. Yes, we will probably get to go on a vacation together, but now, it doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, I would rather go to China. I find myself thinking about China all the time, about the people there and all of the friends we made, the baby I got to hold and a country full of sadness. I guess it goes to show that you always want what you can’t or don’t have.
When did you go to China? How long did you stay? I lived there for 4 months and loved it. I know what you mean about longing to go back. There is something about that country, and the kids in it that root themselves deep in your heart. I hope you are able to plan a trip to go back someday...soon!
