i really love going to beijing despite the huge population, pollution and the humidity.  there is so much to learn due to the amount of history and culture there.  it's not just a form of traveling, to just see things, but to learn a culture and its past.  that's why i was very disappointed that my sister decided to leave 3 days into the trip due to her reason of school (which doesn't start until much later).  she wasn't used to the people, or the weather...and all the other negative connotations about china.  this is what i call arrogance.  she didn't even get to see the great wall or the forbidden city with her own eyes.  the first time i saw these historical sites, i was blown away...

people should see and read things before judging them...

i didn't want to go due to strong attachment created between the students and i.  i wanted to be there on the last day of school to bid them farewell.  i felt horrible, and i had to miss them for my flight to hk.  for once, i had no care or joy in going.  well - what do you know?  i couldn't get on the flight due to weather control.  thirty other people were kicked off and i couldn't make it on the flight to vancouver.  is this fate or what?  but inside me, i had no joy either, even though i would be able to see the kids.  so there - i can never be satisfied with these two cases...and it shows, i can't even make decisions based on split seconds.  everything is going too fast for my mind to translate everything..

after many, many chances -
i'm finally seeing coldplay live!
hopefully viva la vida grows on me more..

i forget that elementary public schools do not have air conditioning.  sweat was dripping down my back when i was rehearsing the dance with the kindergartens.  they love to touch, and man, i wanted them off me.  humidity just ruins your mood and makes you twice as sleepy...

i just want to sleep right when i hop into bed....
why can't i fall asleep?
