This is probably the exact wrong time to start a travel blog after already being in China for nine months. I've spent those past nine months traveling everywhere from the Pearl Tower in Shanghai to eating scorpions in Beijing, to giant Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, and huge dams in Yichang. I've pet cats in Tokyo, bet on horses in Hong Kong, and been to prisons in Seoul. The year is coming to an end but I've got a whole other country lined up for the next year: France!
In September I'll be off to France to live for 7-9 months and I hope to travel to all those countries I've never been to. And this time, I'll have a second language I can actually speak under my belt. Mandarin is way too difficult to learn in one year, and I've got eight years of learning French behind me, so I feel a bit more prepared this time.
So I guess we'll see how the next year plays out and hopefully I'll have some good stories to tell!
