A Roundabout Way Back to San Diego

The last week of my trip was hectic. So many ceremonies, and flights. We finished the last two ceremonies for my grandma on the 30th and 31st, with almost everyone on my dad's side of the family. Beforehand, my family folded 1000 gold paper "bao's" (which look like nuggets) to be burned for my grandma.

The next day we flew to Nanjing with a stop in Hong Kong (no straight flights from Taipei due to political issues). After enjoying the Hong Kong airport, we arrived in Nanjing where it was about 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). A day in Nanjing wasn't enough. I hope to return again and maybe recreate the "party room". haha

The day after returning to Taipei was the day we left for LAX. Non-stop flying. But it was worth it to get back.

Weather in SD cannot be more beautiful...home sweet home. Hopefully I'll stop being too busy catching up with all my work within the next week, and get some of my own personal things taken care of (like going to the beach).
