Just going to take a moment and brag about how I got to touch the original manuscript at the special collections in my university.

It was awesome.

Not as cool as China, bruh.

I'm formulating a post about the trip. I'm still decompressing whilst waiting in Seattle for my last leg home. Lots of emotions, thoughts, reflections, and zero regrets.

And zero sleep in 20 hours. I'm getting a little punchy.

I'm actually going to be in Beijing in a couple weeks, definitely looking forward to hearing about your experiences, and maybe I can find your stickers if you left any!

I didn't leave any in China... I couldn't find "the right" place, and anywhere I did consider - didn't feel respectful, eg. the Great Wall. So the pictures holding up the sticker had to do. I'm still processing the trip and will post on it soon. Feel free to hit me up in PM if you have specific questions. I could certainly give you a few tips if you're interested.
