Thinking about heading back to China

[SimonM]

So I'm thinking of going back to China already. Still love Toronto, but I miss the good old PRC.

Anybody over there right now, especially in the Beijing area?

Does your wife miss home?

I know my wife goes through periods where she insists she is moving back home to the Philippines.

Actually she says she's cool wherever we are as long as we can develop the financial flexibility to travel.

She isn't opposing a move back to China but she's not driving it either. This is just my predisposition to a nomadic lifestyle rearing its ugly head once more. It usually starts about 2 years after I arrive somewhere and ramps up for a year or so before I jump on a bus / plane and GO.

I haven't been back to Portugal since 2001.

There are days that I really miss it.

[SimonM]

Yeah, the "I miss China" itch is biting down really hard right now.

I lived in Taiwan from early/mid-'80s until '93. I had some good times there (and some tough ones, too), but I haven't been back out of this country since. It's weird, but I often have dreams that I'm somehow back there. I miss some of those times, but also know that things have changed there in the past 20 years, and it wouldn't be the same. There's an old saying to the effect of, "You can't go back home."
