February 25, 2010. I arrived in HK on a one-way ticket from the USA. It was very late, so I stayed overnight in a hotel.
February 26, 2010, ten years ago today. I crossed over to mainland China. Not for an 8 month contract like in 2006. Not on a tourist visa like I did on 2 trips in 2009. This time was different.
I came to China with one intention. I was coming to China to stay forever. China became my home that day.

Since then, I got married (a beautiful daughter was included as a bonus ajajajajaj), got a cat (to supervise me while I work), got a Chinese green card, and rescued a kitten (who now helps my cat supervise me). All I need now is for my citizenship application to be approved.
