Sentimentality

I am being sentimental today. I want to go back to China. Oddly enough, I miss Beijing. The few days I spent in this foreign place, last year, did not seem enough, and I long to explore every nook, cranny & crevice.
In my sentimentality, here are some images that are making me even more wistful. Oddly enough, they're all cityscapes, though the rolling hillsides of the country in Hailar and Hulun Beier are equally missed.
I envy those friends who get to/got to spend months there, and wish God would call me out of the pastry kitchen, into something bigger/grander. Till then, these are the images that strike me tonight.
