You just know

you just know that you are not home when you look around you see nothing that's familiar and you can't read a damn thing. thats how i felt when my mum and i went to shanghai for almost a week.

its my first time to go there and i loved. Shanghai is actually the New York City of China. everywhere you look there are buildings and even the old china is full of buildings that were built by the French and Americans thats why they all look like New York banks.

you just know that you are not home when you wear the clothes you dont usually wear at home.

you just know that you are not home when you can't understand a single thing that people around you are talking about and they can't understand you back

you just know that you are not home when you can buy anything you like (not the case with me hahaha) i get away with it.

you just know that you are not home when the money you have in your pocket is not enough and you have to visit the money changer to get more yuan

you just know you are not home when you get to sleep really early at night because you are so tired of the day of city tours and shopping.

you just know you are not home when you eat so much food and get away with it. (authentic chinese food baby)

you just know you are not home when you get to wake up early and be very excited of all you can eat buffet breakfast in the coffeeshop of the hotel.

you just know you are not home when you have to pack your stuff at night so you'd know if you can still have last minute shopping in the morning before the bus arrives.

you just know you are not home when you get into a plane and eat not so good plane food and watch movies inside for three hours straight.

you just know you are not home when you get inside the airport.

you just know you are not home

you just know
