The end is nigh? (Marcus)

Possibly. We are looking into various options currently to possibly return home sooner than planned. Nothing has happened, nothing bad at any rate, though we feel we have reached a turning point in the whole venture in which we feel we would prefer to return home.

We have been in China long enough now that we don't feel like we are accomplishing anything further by being here. Our enjoyment of the place goes up and down and in reality we're spending more and more time just sitting around our apartment as we just plain and simple don't feel like going outside and being stared at anymore. It's not a nice feeling being the amusement source for every Chinese person in a 10km radius, I can tell you that much.

Funnily enough with the grand opening of the E-Mart(Korean Supermarket chain - think super big Target with a supermarket inside), we went up to explore it and despite the absolutely thousands of people there, all eyes were as per usual, on us.

We have enjoyed China, it is definitely an interesting place, but we feel that we have now outstayed our welcome and are focusing on other things.

We will see.

Nope, sorry, can't let you go home. Well, not until we go goldfish fishing at any rate...
