After a much-delayed flight from Saigon to Hanoi (we didn't arrive at our hostel until gone midnight), a day-long bus from Hanoi to Nanning that also arrived late and meant we missed the train, and a different overnight train north, we're finally back in Zhengzhou.
I'm absolutely exhausted, and not quite ready to reflect on how amazing the past six weeks have been, though I'm sure it'll all come flooding back when I start to sort through and upload my photos this week.
In the meantime, there's the small matter of work. I start teaching tomorrow at 8am and, aside from third period off, don't finish until 6.20pm. Welcome back indeed...
