One year ago today, I was in Beijing.

Today was really a celebration and reminder of my trip last year to China. After doing a CEED in Beijing for 2 months with the AIESEC China MC team, I never thought that a year later, all of it would come rushing back to me.

It all started this morning, when ironically, I watched my CEED video on China. (Found at www.video.google.com - search 'CEED'). I had some good laughs and reminised about the good times.

Then ironically, this afternoon, I received an email from Amanda in Edmonton, telling me that the article she wrote about my CEED experience in China was published today on page 3 of the Travel section in the Edmonton Journal. (The online copy can be found at http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/travel/story.html?id=370fe636-5d9a-494b-ae13-ae1f24ba7e4e&p=1).

Then, to top off the evening, Shirley's mom is visiting from Michigan and took us all out for an amazing Peking duck dinner. While waiting for a table, I went shopping and bought 6 'street' DVD's for $20 :)

So for some reason or another - I feel like these events have all fallen into place to remind me not to forget about the impact that my experience on China had on me. The friends that I made. The funny and unforgettable stories I have. The memories I'll never forget.
