Another trip to the motherland is only one week away and I hope to use the spare time between meetings and flights to see some friends in Beijing and Shenzhen.

 

I also had to lie to my mom about why I couldn't make it home even I'll be in the country, this way she wouldn't have to be too looking forward to seeing me and preparing too much for my arrival. Considering showing up suddenly at her door front might trigger way too big a surprise, I might give a call back home after I get into the taxi. Shhh... Help me keep the secret, my friends.
