A couple of weeks ago I was with my good friend Jessica in Minnesota. A few times she asked me questions that started, "When you are home...?" Each time I found myself very confused by her questions. She was asking, "When you are in America...?" I was hearing, "When you are in China...?" After living there for the last three years, I guess China has become our "home".

We leave tomorrow afternoon. We start with a 13 hour flight from Atlanta to Seoul, a two hour layover, and then a three hour flight to Hong Kong. We will be in Hong Kong overnight, then fly out the following morning for a one hour flight up to Xiamen. We will finally be "home" Wednesday around noon (late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning Atlanta time).
