China Travels
I’m sitting on the airplane waiting to taxi and reflecting on the past 15 days. It has truly been a whirlwind. I have been from Shenzhen to Beijing to Lanzhou to near Tibet to Jiuzhaigou to Chengdu all within a couple of weeks. I am completely worn out, but all of the effort and travel was worth it.
