Dare I say it, Richard, but you sound more and more like you want to be back in the good old P. R. of C.

I mean, I know you hated it but it seems to have been a defining period in your life. It's almost like in a lot of your posts I can see the desire to be back in China so that you could have more to talk about on your blog, for example.

I don't know, that's just the impression I get anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Currently living in Beijing amorphous dreams, it's nice to hear someone say "hold on". :)

Ummm.. that would be "with" amorphous dreams.

Well, hang in there John. Despite the struggle, you'll definitely come away a more complete person.

Adam, it's not so much a longing for Beijing, but rather for taking control of my situation, wherever I am. It's not always as easy as it sounds....
