So, more than 1 month later (my mantra of 2012 it seems) I am posting the second half of my first year in China.
Recap: Arrived: November 2012, after 1 night at the Marriott, lived in a rat trap for 2 weeks, then moved one step up for 3 months while we made some friends. Once I got a job we moved into Upper East Side
Now we live here and love it
We visited places like this
 |
| Chaoyang Park |
 |
| Mutianyu Great Wall |
 |
| The girls I went to the wall with...Great Wall of China trip with me and 3 girls from Japan |
 |
| Thank you smog |
 |
| Steep stairs that they did not want to walk up :) |
 |
| The Summer Palace |
 |
| 1000% Humidity and no makeup... |
We had our first wedding anniversary
 |
| Anniversary presents |
Visited 798, the art distrct
And then...
In the beginning(ish) of our second year in China, we returned home to the USA for the first time for Christmas
 |
| My dad and me |
 |
| Father and son in law |
 |
| And us |
I hope that everyone has had a wonderful beginning to 2012!
On the 19th I had my 24th birthday and couldn't be happier with my life. I got to see my family and friends again, I have a wonderful husband, a great job and a wonderful future in front of me.

It looks like you've had a fabulous year in China!
