So today I am getting on a plane again! Yay! 2 New countries in 1 year, I did not see that coming. First there was Singapore, hadn't planned it and then in April it happened! Then a few weeks ago, I invited myself on a friend's business trip to China.  Much to my surprise he said, "let me check flights". So I got a visa and  now I am waiting to board a flight to Beijing. A few weeks ago I thought this trip would be a wild 2 week adventure with a dear friend, I had no idea it would be my 2 week layover before moving to Singapore.  I am choosing not to process any of the 674 emotions I am feeling.

Flight to Beijing: let's not talk about it
Rush Chinese Tourist Visa: $325
Mentos and People Magazine: $5.26
Flying by the seat of your pants, as usual: priceless
