Well, today's the day! All that fundraising, begging and busking has paid off. Last year was an adventure in and of itself, so I have no idea what to expect from the land of China. I think it suddenly got way too real today though: I was repacking my suitcase for the millionth time in an attempt to bring the weight down a bit and I had a bit of an epiphany - I realised that the things contained within this suitcase would be the only physical ties I would have with my life in the UK. It scared me a little.
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm super excited to go - the Great Wall is calling to me! I certainly will miss all my friends and my fantastic girlfriend though, and it seems like they will miss me too as they took the time to throw me a wonderfully prepared surprise party on saturday. Jill, you're a sly little devil and you got me, I didn't expect a thing ;) So after a little too much alcohol and a lazy day on Sunday, I met up with my friends again to go bowling at the Glasgow quay which was followed by a trip to Nando's. Did I mention I ate an entire chicken and some peri-peri chips (my usual :P).
I can't wait to meet up with everyone at the airport and share all my excitement with them, but at the same time, I'm really going to miss the UK.
Well, I think that does it for this entry, I'll update when I'm in Beijing and once again when I'm at my project. See you then! :)
