Beijing as it is...

Through my  eyes...

 Beijing in interesting place , and people here live their life their way. They drive the way they want, and if they want to cross street slowly , they will do it, and no HOnking will get them off the road.. Sometimes when  we were driving around people started crossing wrong time-- WHem they see cars approaching, they usually stop in the middle of the road, so car  driver can decide witch way to go. IF they start running, then car drivers get confused, and most likely pedestrian gets hit. You have no idea how many times we have been face to face with pedestrians who are crossing street on some add places. BUT within a week I am expert street crosser..   crossing 16 lane  street is no problem for me .. ha!!!   But there are times I just roll my eyes and go- What the FUCK am I doing  here, I thought this life was out of my comfort zone. I   actually enjoy this  anonymous life.  Nobody knows  me, I don't have to wave at mornings or smile at every person I see . I don't have to have small talks with cashiers in   grocery store.  i don't have to take out my trash every wednesday night  or  drive 50 miles to  have real fun...

But I do miss my cali friends Xochitl, Maire, kristel, Christel , Kadi,  Elvira  and so on..    <3<3<3 I miss going grocery store and get stuff I need and not worry about how much MSG there really is. I miss my favorite restaurants and bars , where I know drinks are good, and food is delicious.

But I would not TRADE this experience  I am having. My life  finally has some sort of spice and fire in it, and I am going to explore what Asia has to offer...

See you all. Let me know if you want to visit us :D OR let me know if YOu know any ESTONIANS in beijing area ;) i would not mind speaking some estonian once in a while :D
