Last days



Ok, it's been a while, but my last days before the course finished in
early July had been frantic. Preparing for the Yunnan trip, catching
up with friends before leaving, and…packing. It's never easy to pack,
especially having to decide what things to take and what to throw
away (or give away). I hate throwing things away!

The official last day of the course was the farewell dinner, held at
Fengwei Canting, one of the restaurants in BLCU. It was such a hot
day, and it was extremely hot in the restaurant!!! …but the food was
good. : )

The rest of the night was left for packing, and last minute catch-ups.
A couple of classmates and I were to leave for Kunming early the next
morning. One friend was so cute, she didn't have anything to give me
as a farewell present, so she decided to give me a banana and a bottle
of water – she thought since I will be leaving early in the morning,
and I was busy all day, I probably didn't have anything prepared …she
was right!

Again, I have made so many wonderful friends this time, a lot of them
Koreans, so I think I have become an honorary Hanguoren (Korean)! I
particularly felt Korean during the trip to Yunnan with the two Korean
classmates. Every time someone asked us where we came from, it got too
tiring to explain, so, Hanguoren I am!
