i'll miss:
* the crazy good and really cheap cheap food
* the old ladies who worked at the bun shop
* the woman at "our" restaurant who always made sure we were fed
* the little babies all bundled up like stars for the winter
* how easy it is to get everywhere
* the motorcycle rides
* the cheap dvds
* most of all, the people i've become
cristina - my chilean roommate, i loved hearing her go off in spanish.
rita - if it weren't for her, i would've machete'd everyone at my school.
julie - a 15 year old stuck in a 23 year old's body, but she was the least insane of the chinese we met.
danny - laziest sonuvabitch ever who chugged cough syrup until 6am. he was the most lovable asshole i've ever met.
derek - fellow music snob from cashmere. at least he's a funny snob.
zeyad - his pizza shop saved me from committing suicide several times, and his apple crumble is to diiiieee for!
mark - soft-spoken kiwi with a mohawk. all the girls LOVED him, but he had no idea what to do. poor guy.
andy - my first day in china was scary, and andy was right there to invite me out to a pub. he takes care of everything.
dale - big pimpin' scotsman. he was in love with himself, but he was too nice to hate.
ryan - dale's younger brother. talent is subtle one liners. i am in love with his accent.
erin - the loud kiwi. obviously, we would get along.
mel - the tiny kiwi. "oh, patty, you are gooooogeous, i love you!" -drunk mel
rochelle - the drunk horny kiwi. on new years eve, she made out with some guy in the middle of the floor.
sam - another washingtonian. this guy cracks me up, he's so adorable.
and obviously spencer - i don't know what to say that won't make everyone vomit, but he's been so sweet to me and i can't wait until he comes home, too.
