Finally Moved Out

After 1 month short of 5 years, I finally moved out of 31 Shanowen Avenue aka the UN House aka La Comuna aka The Commune! Those days living in that house were certainly interesting! We have had people staying there from 5 continents! We've had people from Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Scotland, Poland, Lithuania, Argentina, Nigeria, Angola, Libya, Pakistan, China and Australia! Not to mention visitors from tons of other places!That's a lot of countries! Some nice, some not, some just plain weird! I reckon that living there has taught me a lot about the different people that walk this earth and how to deal with them!

So, now I'm back at the folks' place. It's a bit of a change. So, now I need to work out what I need to bring to China and whether I need to buy anything before I leave on Wednesday!

I think the whole leaving the country thing is starting to dawn on me! It's scary but it's gonna be one of the biggest challenges of my life. And hopefully a good laugh as well! See can I get a few sing-songs going in the Chinese pubs!
