After having typed up my trip journal this past weekend, I’ve been reflecting quite a bit on my trip to China this past summer. Reading some of these entries has made me cringe, because I feel like many times I come off as arrogant and narrow-minded. I have to remind myself that all of these entries were written while I was experiencing severe culture shock, which explains some of the insensitivity with which I wrote.
I’m very grateful for the chance to have been able to (briefly) experience one of the world’s greatest countries and nations. Going to China was one of the most exciting, strange, and eye-opening experiences of my life. One day, I would like to go back.
For those of you more curious about my trip, or if you’d like to contact me further, I can be reached at eiratansey@gmail.com. In addition, all of the pictures from my trip can be found on my Flickr page, at www.flickr.com/photos/eiratansey.
