no place like home

25 days past and i am back.

25 hectic days of travelling. taking in new sights, going through new experiences, learning new things.

most importantly, i learnt more about myself. i didn't think i would be one to miss home, esp not after a petty 25 days away. and yet, you never really fully appreciate the love and comforts of home until you're away. sad to say, i was the one who shedded tears in a particularly emotionally vulnerable moment after a phone call home.

but i'm back, ironically with a slight tan and marked improvement in speaking mandarin.

as dorothy says 'there's no place like home'
