Seriously. I've tried to stick to a schedule to update everyone back home, but I've failed miserably.
December and January were absolutely insane. Between work, traveling through 3 countries and coming back to freezing, rainy Shanghai, I've barely had time to FaceTime let alone blog.
I'll back track soon and post about my trip through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia soon. It was amazing and I want to give it all of the attention it deserves. Before I do that I wanted to through together a quick update for those eager to see what I'm up to now.
Next week marks the year of the monkey. Chinese New Year is upon us and I am just as excited as the locals to say goodbye to year of the sheep (apparently unlucky and drab for me) and ring in the new year.
According to Chinese tradition, the Year of the Red Monkey is going to be good for me (as I was born in year of the rabbit). My general fortune is that my "people relationship is pretty good. Everything will come in your way. The result will be very satisfactory to you." But apparently I need to watch out for injuries to my face?
Check out your fortune here!
I'm celebrating Chinese New Year the best way I know how...traveling away from Shanghai. I'm off to Vietnam for 8 days on Saturday and can't wait to enjoy the warm weather, Vietnamese food and the charming town of Hoi An.
Until I return...
