What is there to say? China's been great, I've been learning so much, enjoying my life here, and staying thoroughly occupied - as the lack of journal entries might have already indicated...but when it's time to go home, it's time to go home.
I will have fulfilled my contractual obligations by the 25th of May. At that time I'll be packing my bags and coming home. Maybe I'll have the opportunity to return to China in the future, but for now I need to be with my family.
Please keep my mother in your prayers in her fight against breast cancer.
With love to all,
P
