Dear China

Dear China,

How are you?

It's been 11 years since we met —  

Oh, how much we've both changed since that jet-set

I've tried to escape my what-do-you-call-it heritage?

Oh, but Earth is such a stage

And I'm but a tiny player

Used to be a naysayer

Now, on a plane staring out the window

I see these ah yis & shushus pointing here,

"Look!" they seem to be saying — 

"Before this view disappears"

Oh, what a shame it would be

If I don't see

What could be

When the mind is free

Thankful for the chance to get to spend 1/3 of the year in China, and being left pleasantly surprised (most of the time).
Haven't updated this space in forever... Been pretty busy, which I like. Will update with more visuals soon :')
