Today is my first birthday in China! I just turned 10, 592.0268 days using the conversion of 365.24 days/year conversion. By Chinese standard I'm already 30 years old. I like to count it by days since each day is a new day and I consider it a blessing. I experience something new each day and most of all I'm glad that each day is always a great day. I do not wish to live as long as 1oo years but I wish that all the good people on earth and the people I love would live longer than me so I don't have to see them go. I'm happy to celebrate my birthday with some of my friends and students who are so sweet. I didn't inform them in advance so they would not buy something because what matters most is their presence. But those guys were wiser than me. They were able to prepare a gift within a short period of them. I was confident that they would have time to find something, but I though wrong. They showed up with this lovely stuff toys and other stuff. When I first arrived here in China, I met Malaysian professor, who told me Chinese students are very sweet. Now, I could really say that he was right. Though I am still struggling when it comes to language, I can still say that I'm glad to be here. If given the chance, I would love to be here again next year. Life is great in China!
