This is my last blog.
On Friday February 1, I’m flying back to Cincinnati, back home. I’ve posted close to 70 articles on this blog over the last 6 months with the purpose of sharing some of my experiences with friends and family. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing about my adventures.
I’ve got to know some great people, tried a few new things, traveled a bit across China, learned a lot (also about myself) and feel re-energized. My stay in Beijing felt like a sabbatical as I had plenty of time to think, to reflect, to study, to observe and to write.
I want to thank all of you for staying in touch with me, for posting your comments, for visiting me, calling me and sending me plenty of emails. I certainly want to express my gratitude to my supervisors at work for giving me the opportunity to take this assignment. My largest debt of gratitude is to my wife Greet and sons Andreas and Simon. I owe a great deal to my family for enduring my absence. You guys rock!
I once read that:”The true worth of your travels lies not in where you come to be at the journeys end, but in who you come to be along the way.” For sure, the whole experience has influenced me in several ways but only time will tell what will be long-lasting. For now I’ll keep going with the flow and cherish the many happy moments I encountered in Beijing and during my travels in China.
THANKS.
Paul

Hey Paul!
Thank YOU so much for being an inspiration not just during the adventures that you've shared with us during this assignment but especially in your last couple of blogs. No dry eyes here! I have never told you how much you and your fabulous wife and family impress me with your strength and support of each other. Good fortune has shined on you all in this life. All the best wishes on your return home. Take care!
