I wrote about one of my first travel experiences here in China. It's a memory that's stayed with me for three reasons:
The two other foreigners I was traveling with two of the closest friends I've met here. They've since departed China.
It's the biggest holiday in China and I got to spend it with a Chinese family. It was a good feeling to be so warmly received and see the culture from within.
Fireworks. Exploding everywhere. All over the city I was in. Who could forget that?
