Well as marcus has written about in his last couple of posts, we have been living it up in Shanghai for a few days. All that ends in 90 minutes! It's time to head to the airport and begin our journey home. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I'm actually not that nervous about what awaits us at home. It's going to be a difficult couple of months, looking for work and reorganising our lives again. But for me, the main thing today is flying...I am not all that fond of flying!! However, Jann has supplied me with some sleeping pills so with any luck I will be oblivious to the whole journey!
We have a big couple of weeks coming up when we return, which will certainly make being at home a lot easier, yet at the same time we wont really have all that much time to understand and reflect upon exactly what we have finished and what is ahead of us. We have Simone and Adrian's wedding on Friday, friends birthdays, Marcus birthday next weekend and of course catching up with family and friends and hopefully seeing our little cat Jimmy as well! It's going to be an interesting readjustment phase.
I'm still happy that we are going home and know that we have made the right decision. But of course there will be many aspects of life here in China that I will miss and probably long for whilst we get used to being back home again. China is this bustling place with so much to see and do. Granted, not that much to see and do where we were living (!) but there are so many people that everything is open late. There is always food to be had, places to walk and people to watch. We have seen some absolutely crazy things since we have been here, and I will definately miss the randomness of actions and how slowly but surely these things become normal. I think Melbourne is going to seem very calm in comparison for a while. China has been a huge adventure and we are so glad we got to travel around and see a big chunk of the country. Hopefully one day we can come back and see just how much things have changed.
Almost time to go! See you all back in Melbourne =)

You just couldn't leave the country without making sure you left a little piece of you behind. Pity about the luggage!!!
