Last Time

When shopping in Shanghai recently, I remember thinking: ‘This is it. This will probably be the final time I browse the markets, hear the words “watch, bag, shoes” every two minutes, or enjoy lunch at the famous Green Leaf Restaurant.’ Often, you don’t have the advantage of knowing that you may not travel this way again. Now even though I’m anxious to pack it all up and call it a day, our time in China is quickly coming to a close. I so appreciate the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds (sorry, I can’t include smells) of such a vast, overwhelming city, one last time.
