A Friend is Here
A friend from Sweden is here for his China experience, and I can see how I was several months ago in his actions and words.
Now, whenever he has a question or needs help with anything, I answer quickly and confidently. I’ve helped him get to this city, get an apartment, buy a laptop, and also familiarize with the city and the local customs.
By seeing his unfamiliarity with living independently, people, money and decision making - I see how much I’ve changed and grown and it feels good.
I followed my dream, surviving alone in China, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve made.

Awesome carl,
it was definitely a brave decision, and it’s nice to reflect on how far you have come.
Keep up the posts!

You should be proud of yourself. Doing what you did takes a lot of… courage (not the word I was going to use, but it’ll do
).

Carl, I envy you and Urbanski. You guys are doing what I seek to do, just that the country may be different. But first, I got a bachelor degree to take before I realize my dream. Thanks by the way for the comment on my site!
