Goodbye China! I am back in the States for the time being, and oddly enough that means I will have more time to post and put up pictures from the last 4 months.
It was great, it was bad, it was very confusing…what a time to be in China. I will be back soon enough!

This morning I was waking up when I noticed something so weird that I was INSTANTLY AWAKE.
Outside there’s some weird pollution thing going on, so there’s yellow fog. Bright yellow fog. I freaked out this morning because the light coming through my shades wasyellow…

Whoa what is this cool magazine
The World of Chinese

and the Wall Street Journal’s China Real Time Report is also not bad:
China Real Time Report
How is it that I only find good reading material on China when I should be studying frantically? It’s a mystery.

Five Books on China →
shang-hi:
The following are all by deeply knowledgeable writers with original observations (rather than a pastiche of the conventional wisdom), and, most unusually, there is not book among them with a dragon on the cover.
Do any of them have the Great Wall on them perhaps winding off into the distance
