We had a typhoon! The worst of it was while we were on a bus, then it moderately rained for the next day and a half. Total fail. AND I had to work on my day off to make up for it! Boo! This is the only picture I got...
I went to Disneyland Hong Kong with Elsa! Because she'd never been to Disneyland...or Hong Kong!
Walking in:
Elsa: "It's not really magical for me, I'm an adult."
Five minutes later
Elsa: "I want to ride the Merry Go Round!!"
Yup, she definitely wasn't feeling the magic...
Chinese version of the Haunted Mansion... it wasn't haunted, or spooky, but still a neat ride.
Elsa got some neat pictures of the light parade at the end of the night.. I stole them :)

| Buzz Lightyear!!! |
I also went to Disney with my roommate, we got a fancy tea lunch! And this is all of the pictures because I went...2 weeks before with Elsa.
I had to get my fix before they took away my silver pass!
Then, it was time for the big last day, our last day, Elsa and I decided to make the big life change on the same day. Our final day would end on the last day of the term for my favorite class with my favorite little ones. I know... I know... you're not supposed to have favorites, but, let's be real, it happens whether you want it to or not. The goodbyes were hard, we got many well wishes and I got asked more than I would have liked, "Are you going home to find a husband and get married?" So, it turns out, you get it from either side, leaving the country it was presumed I was looking for love, now I'm leaving a country and it's assumed I'm leaving to find love. I did find love, in the most amazing forms, just not one that I can take home to marry.
We were teaching "sofa," I swear!!!

I got my 1 year pin for Disney!
And by more GZ, I met more ridiculous nights with the people I love and will miss so unbelievably much. <3
Turns out, I suck at pool in China, too...
#HEE group Also known as Haley, Elsa, Eva. We had a girl's day and got our nails done, I also got my eyebrows shaved into shape, that was interesting. I was informed it did NOT in fact make me 1. more Chinese, or 2. LOOK more Chinese, well damn... haha

| I let them order, so, it was amazing. Spring Rolls, (turns out you wrap them in lettuce and add carrots and radish to it an it's like a Vietnamese taco ish thing, in other words, delicious), fish, Pig's neck and fried tofu. |
Eva told me it very Chinese if I act candid in photos, so that's how she took them. haha.
As my time winds down in China, I find myself reminiscing about how different it was, just a year ago, when we arrived. I have officially been in China for... a year and 2 days as I write this post. I leave for Greece 2 weeks from today. I am officially done with work and trying to spend my time with the people I don't know when I'll get to see again. Some people, I know I will, some I know I won't, and some, it will take some time but I will, someday, some I'm just hoping to. <3
I have a few more adventures before my time here is up, though.
