As I expected, boredom has begun to set in. I knew I was going to get bored of Beijing at some point; perhaps I should be thankful it took a week to begin. I thought that maybe I could make it longer before boredom set in, but I really don’t have as much to think and write about as I thought. I think much of my thoughts and reflection will come once I’m back in the US. Anyways, unlike working in a place, staying in a single place when traveling can get really, really, really boring. I think its because moving, seeing new places, and experiencing new things is the nature of travel. Try staying anywhere for two weeks without work and I think you’ll get bored too. Maybe this boredom is good for me though, as now I’m looking forward to getting out of Beijing. Hopefully it’ll balance out my desire not to go home.
