Shanghai, here I come! On the move again.....

Well, it's official. I am moving from Beijing to Shanghai! I'm definitely excited, but I must say it feels a little strange to be leaving Beijing already. I never really got a chance to settle down after the Olympic stint, but I think that makes it a bit easier for me to leave for Shanghai now since my Beijing roots have not grown too deep.

I will be leaving a few really great friends, but that's the great thing about friends... they will always be there.

-------------------

Today was a ton of fun because it was perhaps the first day in a long, long time that I've not stressed out like crazy about applying to jobs and all of that.

I woke up late to Scot asking me "did you book a plane ticket?" because the ticket delivery dude was at the front door an hour and a half earlier than scheduled. I payed the man, and then it hit me: "wow... I'm really leaving." I thought to myself, prior to laying back down again for a bit.

After slightly more sleep, Scot invited me to go slacklining with him and a friend in a nearby park. Having never slacklined before, I was quite interested to give it a shot, and I took off for the park prior to eating breakfast or anything like that.

Slacklining was awesome! I am definitely a novice, having only done it this one time, but I was pretty proud of my performance.... I got 4 or 5 steps forward one time without falling. Scot and Mark, the other guy with us, were both really good at it and a lot of fun to watch.

Perhaps the most humorous part of the event was the ever-changing crowd of Chinese people who stopped for a few minutes to look at the crazy Laowai park antics. We actually got one girl to try out the line, which was cool. She was actually really good for only giving it such a quick shot!

Anyway, I was about to go climbing today as well, but my forearms are still killing me from the other day, so I think I'll hit it up either tomorrow, or as soon as I get to Shanghai.

That's the deal for now....back on the move again.

Hopefully this will be the last time for a while!
