I met with all of my Chinese language partners. They are all very out going, anxious to discuss progressive ideas and all in all excited to help me learn their native language. They are surprisingly good matches.
It´s been a while since I´ve had someone push me mentally, and I´ve missed it very much. Perhaps that´s one reason why I love to travel so much - because I meet numerous people who unabashedly question other´s view on race, politics, religion, etc with nothing off limits. I am constantly pushed to better explain and define my beliefs and opinions. I am constantly learning about other views.
I´ve got the itch again. I´ve got the itch to go travel and to push the limits of my comfort level. I miss being on the edge of comfort and always having to push myself through a new situation, no matter how awkward, uncomfortable and difficult it is due to various cultural differences. Granted, I can do that daily here in Madison, or anywhere, but it´s completely differnt abroad. I´m not sure where I´m going, but I´m going some where soon.
