Today i start my trek back home! I cant wait for the comfort of my own home and my own bed and lets not forget... FOOD! I have had the most amazing experience here and have learned a lot about the culture. I have learned that i am very lucky and fortunate to have the things that i have back home, and that women in the United States are treated a lot more equally then they are here. I'm not saying that i wasn't treated well here, quite the opposite. The Chinese volunteers and people here pretty much bent over backwards for us while we were here and made our stay very comfortable. But being able to see a different country and to be submerged in a different culture for a while makes me appreciate everything that has been given to me. On the officiating side i feel very lucky for all the experiences that i have received in the past and all of the people that have helped me along the way. This trip has been an eye opener to me and i want to thank Stacey and Matt for everything they did for me, and us as a refereeing team while we were here.
Now that i am leaving, i hope to see most of you soon. And someone should bring me food when i get back... i need some good food. I'm still thinking of a burger, fries, buffalo wings, anything totally fattening and greasy would be great. I have lost some weight here eating rice all the time and if anyone mentions rice to me... or puts it in front of me lets just say it wont be pretty! Ha ha! just kidding!
Now i will be getting onto a fun long plane ride! woo hoo! See all of you soon!
