16 What Happened 365 Days Ago?

Exactly...One year ago...I arrived in Shanghai...on an overcast rainy night...much like today. Wow...time flies....and now that i have a year under my belt....with all the things that have happenned I am a much better person...and a stronger one too. I miss my friends and family back in the US. I chose to come here...and I never quit -- i'm determined to continue my life here, everything else is a temporary setback...the big picture and peace of mind are the most important ;-)

1 Wangjianshuo's Blog is Famous

Yes, I love WJS's blog very much. It is very honest and informative. Only question now is:
With the knowledge of the site's popularity, will WJS's head increase in size as well? ;-)
