Just shy of a week from return to the US (I'll have stayed 177 of the 180 days of my one-entry visa, and it'll have been ten months since I was in the Western hemisphere) I'm tying up loose ends and trying not to get too wistful. No point guessing now what I will be missing soon enough.
I think I'll miss the "dancing grannies 大妈," like these in front of South Qilianshan Station and our Stammlokal 青年公社 Youth Commune (where they serve the New School Boiled Fish); time will tell. I'm thinking the same way about the broader question of "what I have learned in China."
