So, my postings have been fewer and further between these past few days because the Chinese government has a problem with my blog and keeps me from getting my words out there for all the world to see. But on my last morning in China I won't be kept down!
I spent the last week in Xian seeing the Terracotta Warriors and the pandas and just generally enjoying the city, with its bell tower and drum tower and city walls that just ask to be run.
After the worst train ride ever sitting in hard seats overnight for twelve hours with a third of the Chinese population in my compartment - I returned to Beijing for a little more Chinese KTV (karaoke) and I'm off for the airport at noon.
Six months have flown past and I'm amazed to be done. Some friends I've been traveling with for the past month are headed to Hanoi and I really wish I was starting over with them.
However, I will return to Aspen to teach 5th grade at Aspen Middle School - and that should be an exciting new adventure. Teaching that doesn't involve gansta rap and the ghetto!
