Having spent a year in Shanghai, one would think that I would be pretty much a pro when it came to conversation, navigation and frustration. However, my move to Beijing feels like my life has been rewound a whole year and I'm having to start all over again.
The checklist still reads: 1. Familiarise myself with the city, 2. Make new friends, 3. Study Mandarin. On the upside, I suppose I could see this as an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start the new year as a new and improved me. Well...I have been eating a lot healthier, that's a start! Maybe I'm sounding negative about my move, when in actual fact, I'm really excited. I'm the kind of person that likes their own company, and enjoys being up against a challenge.
