A Count Down: China

We continue our trip.

From Baku we go east. To Beijing.

And further back in time. To 1998.

A year after my first visit, but a much more extended one. I lived with a family for 9 months, studied like a young woman possessed and ate a gazillion delicious things….of which I basically have no photos— just memories to relive in my mind’s eye and write about in, ahem, *somewhere* (and also past and future issues of @fillerzine ).

What a way to spend my 17th year on this earth! What a total game changer, whose effects and influences have yet to wane— thank god. 🇨🇳
