I'm coming home!

I'll be leaving China this next week, and after 10 months of adventure and hilarity I'm really going to miss this place.  China is awesome!  Bottom line is if you have the means to live here for awhile you don't have a choice, you're coming.  The top five best things about China include:
1.  Chinglish:  When english is translated into an incomprehensible mess.  i.e. I now own a t-shirt that says "E Fashion Is A Life For You Life Is Like The Tree. 
2.  Chinese People:  There are many stereotypes about chinese people that are sometimes true and other times not true but whatever people say Chinese people are generally speaking hilarious. 
3.  Bargaining:  The great thing about bargaining is that people yell the craziest things at you to buy their stuff and even crazier things when you don't.  Once someone yelled at me in the hopes that I would want to buy underwear "Hello, Underwear!"  And once when I was walking past a booth in a market someone yelled out to me "Hello handsome man, you want to buy shirt for your girlfriend?"  I said "No"  Then she tells me "You are not handsome and you have little hair." 
4.  Language:  Chinese is sweet and you can say some really funny things like I'm so hot I'm going to die or I hate you to death or I'm starving to death...
5.  Chinese food:  Mandarin cuisine is so awesome but I do miss the good old cantonese in Chinatown. 

So here is my last post from China but thanks to friends and family for the support it really helped me this year.  Some really cool things happened at our school that I can't wait to tell you guys about when I get back home next week.

Holy Cow you're coming home!  Like coming home to Illinois?  Cause guess what?  I'm moving back to Indiana which is totally close to Illinois.  And I want to hear about what it's like in China which I guess means we should hang out when you're settled back in.  Hope the trip back was good.
