I am sitting right here in Lei Cafe Beijing Airport having coffee and updating my blog. I have to use the internet as much as I can now because for sure, I won’t have a very generous internet connection when I get home in our oh-so-remote town.

This is my view from right here.

That is my flight right there and I have to check-in in a bit. Chinese New Year is not my favourite time of the year to travel because airports are crowded; flights are more expensive accommodations in hotels are more expensive as well. Hate it.

I am coming home empty handed. My three nephews will look at me and wonder why their aunt Vienna doesn’t have anything for them. I can imagine now that this will break my heart. See, I didn’t know until a few days ago that I will be going home to the Philippines. We were expecting to go there in March so I said ok from now until March, we have time to go to for a weekend in Beijing to do some shopping but unfortunately that didn’t happen. Marcus working schedule changed and so the rest followed. Nobody’s fault. I was feeling a little bit heavy-hearted last night about going home empty handed but Marcus said we will make it up to them when he gets there (he will follow in a few days).

I won’t be seeing my husband for a few days. This is our first time to be apart from each other since we got married. Would be very interesting how it will be. As for me, I miss him already.
