Hi everyone, I've had a busy and tiring weekend. Hopefully yours was more restful than mine.

Usually I post Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays so you can bet on reading something new here, but I'm usually out for the rest of the week.

This coming week, I have some tutorial photos coming up. They're being touched up right now :-)

It's getting colder, and the holiday season is just around the corner. I miss home, and am more irritable than usual. No matter how glamorous people think Milan is, it's a very lonely place for a Chinese girl to live:-) You can pretty much forget about having anything common with anyone here.

I say this both humorously and realistically. I'm beyond worrying about whether I "fit in" or not (because I'm not supposed to), but I miss the comfort, the cultural diversity, the open-mindedness, and customer service (!) in the U.S.

Eek. I'm sorry for both your homesickness and the closemindedness of the Italians in your life. I had no idea Milan was like that.

Cheers on your positive outlook, and I definitely look forward to your tutorials! *hug!*

I'm so sorry to hear your having a crummy time right now. Being in a foreign country must be tough especially during the holidays. It really does help us appreciate home more.
I always imagined you having a glamorous life in Milan, but it's never as perfect as it may seem, huh? Just try and make the best of it and look at the good things instead of the bad. I really hope you feel better soon. And if you ever want to vent or whatever, just send me a message, k? Take care.

Open mindedness of the US? Hahahaha... wow, I would've thought Milan is much more open than the US.... very interesting. I guess being there alone must be hard!
