Great Wall Ruins from last Winter Trip My blog has been blocked - didn't take too long. So, I can post, but I can't see my posts. It might turn out all funny looking, sorry! If you were able to open my blog, will you post a comment, so I know? I think friends back home should be able to access it.
In other news, last night I went to an open mic at Tun and saw friends perform. The highlights of the night were this beautiful Chinese revolutionary girl's poem and my friend Tavey's singing. There was a line in the girl's poem that I can't get out of my head - she said, "I deny love, I lift my leg on love!" I had the pleasure of walking and talking with the her later in the night. She's working on a podcast and asked me to participate, but I won't be here long enough.
Today is Christmas Eve, and my what an Eve it has been. My parents disdain for each other is coming to a head. My Mom requested that we leave her at the market we were at, so my Dad and I got in a taxi and headed home while she remained looking at pans to cook the turkey in. On the ride, my Dad let out all of his woes regarding my Mom, which was a lot more than I needed to know and enormously inappropriate for me to know also. It was like this when I was growing up too - too much information. Children aren't supposed to know the innerworkings of their parents intimate life with one another. It's between them. I was a keeper of secrets growing up, but the older I get, the more aware I become of the fact that it isn't my job, nor is it fair to me. I don't think i'll be coming home for awhile after this trip.
I hope everyone elses Holidays are going well so far. I'll have more exciting stories and pictures posted soon. I'm going to be spending a lot more time outside of the house after Christmas. Adventures to come! Family stuff sucks, but the rest of the trip doesn't have to.
