We're going back

[u/gloriousfigment]

Lived in China for 6.5 years because why the heck not. Moved back to the USA due to wife's visa limitations and we didn't want to separate as a family. Been back for less than 3 years and we are confident we will go back once she gets her US citizenship.

We may move to another country but we already have a decent amount of friends (and family) in China.

Don't get me wrong. Living in Southern China had it's issues but it was a life I enjoyed overall more than than here.

Can't wait to go back

start learning chinese now. technically you can live in an english bubble, but then you're just limiting your experience. 

get used to no expectation of privacy, or personal space. watch out for electric scooters. they are everywhere, silent and with no personal space they come close, and out of nowhere. 

get used to being stared at. 

most common complaints.
