We spent our last weekend in China in gorgeous Hong Kong, where we ate the most amazing BBQ pork buns of our lives and stayed in the lovely Ovolo West Kowloon Hotel. We already miss China, especially the beautiful sights, the wonderful food, and the friendly people. Our time there was life-changing. (Closed Captioned)

The Backdrop: We spent May-July in China (eight weeks in total). For the first month, I co-led a study abroad trip that brought sixteen college students to the Nanjing University of Science and Technology to study beginning Chinese. I also co-taught a Travel Writing class. As part of that trip, we went to Beijing, Nanjing, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yellow Mountain, and Slender West Lake. Once the students left for home, my husband Jesse and I traveled around China for a few more weeks. Our travels brought us to Xi'An, Chengdu, Leshan, Jiuzhaigou, Yangshuo, and Hong Kong. It was a life-changing adventure!
