Dec-Jan

Well... I said I was sad that I couldn't go home to be with my friends and faimly... a week or so later I made it home! :) I found a pretty decently cheap flight and flew out on the 1st. So It was new years day for over 24 hours... flying back home is always weird. Left at like 1pm jan 1st, got home at 9pm jan 1st. But I didn't tell anyone I was coming. Well I actually broke down and told Jess, but other than that no one knew. So I got off the plane at JFK and it was a staggering 20 degrees. I say this because I was in Shenzhen in my...what was chilly for me... 60 degrees. I must say 40 degree difference sucks!!! So I hope in a cab, I knew I was home when I saw my driver was an African dude who's english was crazy hard to listen to and I had to direct him how to get to my home. I called my home as I stood outside. My dad picked up... I told him to come downstairs cause I forgot my keys in china (which I honestly did). He said "are you shittin me"... i love my parents. I told him to just look out the window. He some how got my mom to come downstairs... miracle of god really. She looks at me... mind you it's dark, she doesn't have her glasses on and why the hell would I be there. She says "who the hell is that" I can't help myself to yell back "what do you mean who the hell is that". Then I was getting choked by hugs and that was the end of the surprise.My spent a few days with some of the guys, and a couple of days with Jess and Eric. I was only there for 9 days but it was fun..... until.... I got sick. Alex decided to give me a parting gift... but it went away once i got back to china. Here are some pics of hang out time. I also met Ade and Reggie for the first time, always great to meet fellow maplers!
