The Sky.

I've made some pretty broad, sweeping generalizations about my life as a result of my study abroad. One of them is that I will never, ever live in Beijing if I don't have to.

The reason? You'll never see a sunset like this:

I have always thought the DC night sky was a pale imitation of the sky in Missouri, but coming back from living in a place where there is no sky has put my views into perspective. When my brother came to Korea to visit me after having lived for about a month in China, he marveled at how blue the sky was.

It didn't seem especially blue to me that day, but I sure appreciate it now.

It's the little things.
