30 days that felt like 30 hours

My time at Peking University in Beijing China was amazing! And I am glad I went despite I my initial apprehension over struggling with culture shock. I tend to say that I am open to many things but find that I quickly miss my fast internet, air conditioning, and ice!! 

Happily, the weather was cool and only until the last week did we experience high temps that quickly rose to 95 degrees by mid-morning and afternoons that hit 105 degrees! As for slow internet connections and govt-blocked FB and Blogger, I framed the 30 days as a period for detoxing and a gift of living in the moment!  All I needed was to untie the ribbons.  So glad I did.  Muchisimas xie xie, China!
