Who is ready to leave...

I am!!!! Don't get me wrong, I've had a great time and the people have been great, but I am ready to move on. I am excited to explore some of Thailand and Australia. I really think 3 weeks is a bit long in Suzhou, without being more connected to the city either through a school or job. But we are constrained time wise with the class so the walk to class, go to class, go to lunch, have group work in the afternoon and then repeat over and over again has gotten old. I'm ready to see more stuff and I think the "familiarity breeds contempt" line could never be more true....I definitely am over the commercial nature of Shi Qian Street and the walk back and forth from our hotel to the law school. There is so much else to see. That is why I enjoyed the past weekend so much, cause we got out there and saw some stuff off the beaten path. Its too bad that I won't get to go west into the naturally beautiful part of China, but that will be another trip and I definitely am going to go look for some nature in Australia.....and some Fresh Air!!!!....haha.

As I finish this I laugh because the first pregnant woman I have seen in China just came into the coffee shop......crazy.
