I'm mentally starting to settle into Shenzhen! After hiking the mountain near my school last night, I felt bold enough to treat the park as my own. I walked onto an empty field, took advantage of the dusk, and spun in circles. I felt so calm, comfortable, and free! Naturally, when I let my world stop spinning more than it already does, I saw a Chinese couple looking at me by the dim light left in the sky. It's okay, I'm already foreign and weird. I accept this.
I also stocked my kitchen with rice, egg plant, soy sauce, and chili peppers today. Soon I'll buy rice vinegar and oyster sauce too. I'm in this for the long haul!
About Me

- I created this blog to share camping and climbing tips for the crags that I visit. My boyfriend and I travel most weekends for the climbing, but camping is definitely part of the experience! Since we can only climb outside Saturdays and Sundays, we have to make our trips as smooth and efficient possible. Most of my focus is on the Red River Gorge, but I'll share any beta I pick up on other areas as well!

I love the park! Your settling in experience sounds lovely. Maybe I'll try it one day...we could all use a little spinning sometimes :)
