Yesterday was the first day of our break and it felt soooo good to sleep in and bum around all day. It's funny though because today we leave on the train to Beijing and we're packing and cleaning but what I really want to do is practice! I guess it's really become a part of my daily routine and having more than one day off at a time seems really strange. I'm so excited to hang out in a heated house with my family and eat delicious home-cooked food! I don't look forward to the long train and plane rides but once we get home I'm going to be really stoked.

Not much else to say....in a few hours we'll be on our way home.
