I'm back!!~ 17 days and 890 pictures of awesomeness, 8 plane rides (two of which were over 12 hours), and so much Chinese food that I don't want to see a pair of chopsticks again for another two months. Still, it was awesome.

I originally intended to put summaries of my stay in each city in this entry but I don't feel like it right now. Haven't completely slept off my jet lag, though I did sleep for eighteen hours last "night". So, if I decide to put summaries in, I'll do it later.

We visited Beijing, Xian, Donghan Village, Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuzhen, and Hong Kong. Suzhou was my favorite. I would go back to China just to spend more time there, seriously. They have AMAZING gardens there, and we only saw ONE. And we only spent 45 MINUTES. I could have spent a whole day there, and I wanted to, believe me.

Didn't do any art. Stupid me, I didn't bring a sketchbook. And I still have writer's block. I thought if anything could bring my inspiration back, it would be 2.5 weeks in China. Nope. I think it decided it would stay there a while longer... hope it brings me back more pictures.

Now I get to start posting stuff. I'll apologize in advance, as I am about to spam the inboxes of all my watchers with tons and tons of pictures. I took 890. I probably won't post all of them, but I still intend to post a lot. Wish me luck...

EDIT - I have a question for my watchers or anyone else who may see this. To those of you who have or have had a subscription, is it worth it? I'd like your opinions on it. I've been debating getting one, but having more information would help. DA's info page on it doesn't tell me that much. Thanks!!
