Well I am writing with only a couple hours left in Chongqing and a couple more hours after that left in China! It has definitely been a hard year but I have grown in so many ways from this experience. I have made so many close friends and taught some of the cutest little people there ever were! This is the hardest part of the whole journey. Saying goodbye to new friends that have become family and a new place that I have learned to call home. It hasn't gotten easier and I'm not sure it ever will. This was my wonderful last week in Chongqing!

My co teachers took us out for street barbecue! It is really famous in CQ and was actually pretty good, but super spicy! Here they are picking out which meats and veggies we will eat!
Picture day at school! This is my 2 year old class, so cute!

They are having a huge banquet next week for the end of the year and since we are missing it they gave us certificates to go to the buffet by ourselves! So, Anokhi, Justin and I got all dressed up and headed over to the Westin for a delicious dinner and drinks.
The view of our enormous city! 35 million going strong!
I'm gonna miss these two the most!
Our gated community! The high rise in this long line all the way to the left is Anokhi and mine!
We had to get some crazy China cellphone cases as one last hurrah! And matching of course!

Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar."
