Culture Shock.... In your own country...

So the contract is up and I decided to come back to America. I've been here for one month.. Do I regret it? No.. Am I ready to go? Hell yes!!!! Everyone thinks I hate America, which is not true. I enjoy it from a distance. Imagine living in a cage then someone lets you outside the cage. You start to explore and your whole outlook changes. Then someone puts you back in the cage.. You would go CRAZY! That's just how I feel. When you live in America you believe everywhere is like that. Then once you experience a different way of life you have trouble going back to your life. Everyday I have a what the hell moment.
      I miss the calmness of China. The people are happy and they smile. The people in Chicago wake up pisted off. I never go off in china and I almost snap on someone everyday. My face has broken out like a boy at 15. I've gained weight thanks to to the triple portions the restaurants give you. The men.... That's the next blog. Parties: hmmm. Well, I am the life of the party. The people in China come out to have fun instead of trying to get chose. I miss my old life. I miss the luxury of not worrying about getting shot. Every time I hear sirens I get scared. There are no sirens in China. The police directs traffic. I'm getting ready to go back to Jinan. I'm changing schools. Looking for a new apartment and starting a new company. It's a little overwhelming because I'm making a bigger transition. Last year I was just moving for a year. Now I'm planning a total transition: thinking the next 3-5 years I'll be living in Jinan. I have to make travel arrangements for my son, my yorkie. I'm completely stressed out because everything is taking longer than expected and I have no patience. I'll put my trust in God and will keep y'all posted!!!!
