As I sit here and stare at this blinking screen I am
wondering how it is I can sum up my last few months here in China. It’s
difficult to put into words the emotions that have been felt and give the
proper amount of detail to events that have taken place. It’s rather like
taking a picture; the viewer gets a taste but the photo can never really do the
experience justice, can it? Alas, here it goes...
I suppose I should begin by saying that it’s safe to say
that, although I had every intention of keeping this blog up-to-date on a
regular basis when I left Canada back in August, I have failed (yet again) and
will not be adding ‘Respectable Blogger’ to my CV. I suppose I can come up with
a million excuses as to why I couldn’t seem to find the time to sit down and
write about the Shenzhen Happenings but quite simply, I have been busy living.
There is no one word that I can use to sum up these last few months here in
China; wonderful, fun, enlightening, confusing, happy, sad, etc… Amazing what
that ‘simple’ decision that I made back in March, to make a change, did for my
life. I got back to me and it has felt so refreshing and so good.
Life has been Good these last few months; the people that I
have met, the places that I have explored, the evenings that have been had, the
food and drinks that have been consumed, the stomach laughter that has been
enjoyed and the dances that have been danced have all been absolutely
brilliant. It does make me quite sad to think that I’ve only just met these
incredible people in these last few months (why couldn’t we have met sooner)
but I suppose that’s the way things were meant to play out. I know that it’s
always better to leave a place wanting more than desperately wanting out; but
it still makes me a little sad to think that it’s all ending so soon.
