I caught influ B about 10 years ago, it hit me really hard, sickest I have been here. I’ve been getting the flu shot the last few years and am hoping to avoid getting it too. May we both avoid the flu because who has time for it at this point of the year?!?

Ouch that’s rough. We’ve had a lot of closures in Tokyo too… going to be a rough winter I think

That is a fabulous one. Fabulous! One day I will make it to chongqing..:

It’s really hard when we feel like more than one place is home - especially when the place that feels most like home today isn’t where you grew up. Dreams are hard - hard to find, hard to make, hard to realise, but if it’s what your soul needs to do - follow your heart.

At least it will be cool when you return!

I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t lose hope (I know that’s easy to say) and your disappointment is valid. I think travel is a great fit for you. Keep trying. And boo for the hoops that interview put you through!

I’m glad it went well. May her recovery be as smooth and easy as possible and may you have a chance to destress and breathe as well. May she get home soon. You’ve done so well.
