The Great Escape

It’s been almost 3 years, but we’ve finally made The Great Escape from mainland China! We still can’t believe it’s real. 🤩

We’re spending a week in Hong Kong to decompress, before heading on to California for Christmas and New Year. We’ll be back to Shanghai in January, and if everything goes to plan we hope to do a similar trip to Europe next Summer. 🤞

The first adjustment is definitely the language. It feels bizarre not to be surrounded by Mandarin, and I need to stop reflexively saying ‘ni hao’ and ‘xiexie’. And from now on I need to remember not to curse so brazenly, lest I receive a well-deserved slap in the face.

On second thoughts, who cares? SLAP ME HONG KONG, WE’RE BACK!!! 🇭🇰💚
