Off to Xi'an

Last day of work

One thing I don't like about internships is the moment when you have to hand over your badge. It's a piece of your identity all compacted into a rectangular plastic that they're going to cut up in front of you when you leave. When the marine at Post 1 took it, I tried to sweet talk him into giving it back after deactivating it. He refused but asked me out instead. I guess it's his idea of a consolation prize.

Adding to the bucket list

Someday, I'll go horse trekking in Sichuan and learn how to milk yaks.
