LoveJY

So… I was watching Clash of the Titans at Ricky’s but I came home early because I have to get up early for work tomorrow. So far it’s been like Power Rangers meets Twilight meets Harry Potter meets Starship Troopers.

Anyway, I came home to find that there’s a crazy event going on across the street at the stadium. I was very disappointed that I wasn’t going get enough sleep, but then I recognized a couple songs and looked through the little binoculars I had brought to Shanghai. Yup, it was Wang Leehom.

Oh, thank goodness they just finished. It was totally Sungod status but China style, with crazy lights and uber loud speakers.

Ah, Shanghai.

Just looked up Stadium events and apparently Jay Chou will be here June 25th. Free concert from my balcony, anyone?

I miss the long drive from LA to San Diego.

I miss having to run across the beach because the sand’s so hot.

But

I love that I just came back from Nanjing.

I love that I’ve already been to Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming, and Changzhou too.

I love that I’m planning to buy tickets tomorrow to see my parents in Chengdu.

I love that I can buy fruit extra cheap off the streets at midnight.

I love that it’s cold enough to use an electric blanket to warm up my bed before I climb in.

I love that my sense of family has changed for the better.

I love that I really do feel more Chinese, not just by association, but by learning through experience.

I love that even though I get frustrated with crowdedness and pushiness, there are acts of kindness to be seen everywhere.
