Full of gratitude for this Shanghai trip for a few reasons: (1) SIA ticket was on sale, 500+ for return air ticket on SIA - good deal; (2) Stayed at my aunt's friend place for the entire stay; (3) A driver to bring us to every where that we needed/wanted to go; (4) Great friend who knows so much of the city, the beautiful alleys, must go streets, etc; (5) someone to cook dinner for us at night; (6) weather was perfect, 15-20 degrees celsius with a little bit of sun :) and the list goes on!
Any trip, long or short, far or near, there is something to enjoy, to remember, to revisit, to learn from. To be grateful to have a chance to experience and to have a glimpse of another culture/society/day-to-day life, to appreciate the differences and the outcome of these differences. To widen your horizon, to learn how to accept certain situations/experience.
To be grateful for the many things that have gone well for me, to understand that these good things outweigh those less desirious events/people and remember to have a good time no matter what.
Cheers to the great people who made this trip possible!
May your next trip be awesome. You can make the difference!
