The most significant part of living in China is that you get to actively experience the sheer massiveness that IS China. It's something that you really can't grasp until you live it for yourself. I don't know if I had one moment that changed who I am, but I do know that this trip created a thirst inside of me that won't be satiated until I return to China.
