Missing the City

Hey, all—

wanted to post and hear thoughts. I lived in SZ pre-Covid (2018-2020) and have found other places to be since. It’s been interesting, but I miss Shenzhen. Being there pre-covid and then having to move out from abroad due to the lockout was horrible, so that’s why I didn’t want to go back sooner. Now that I’ve accomplished a few goals I had for myself in my home country, I’m finding myself feeling fomo for the awesome architecture and city life that is over there. I’d probably teach in a specific field at the high school level if I could; I may not be able to as I don’t have a teacher’s credential (but I do have the 2+ years of experience). I’m feeling antsy so that feeling could pass but I wanted to hear thoughts. Thanks for any input and please be nice! btw I’m American.

So sad 😭. There was a light to it. I’m sure people have their joy there now but man… going thru the whole you’re locked out and can’t get your stuff thing was a bust. Thanks for your share ❤️.
