a day in my life: 10.23

October 27th, 2010 § 2 Comments

new shoes are finally broken in.

at the zoo. what a pretty bird!

yes, we eat napa cabbage.

I have more photos from the Beijing Zoo, including a video of a panda, but seeing the animals behind bars and glass, all the litter around them (and the smell!), broke my heart, so I’d refrain from sharing any more. I don’t know how I got soft and sentimental.

Yesterday, I saw a commercial for Bounty paper towels on MSNBC’s website and I was struck with profound homesickness.  I’ll admit it: I really miss America– my boyfriend, my family, my friends, food, being able to get around without being too nervous, clean air, my own bed, school, playing bassoon and piano, good chocolate desserts. Home feels farther away when you’re on the other side of the world in a different country. Do you know what I mean?
