So here is the deal. Remember when you were a kid and the idea of learning how to ride a bike was just about one of the coolest things ever...well, the feeling of being in Beijing and making myself comfortable is something along those lines. Just like a child who is unsteady and wobbly when their training wheels first come off, I still feel a little vulnerable and jumpy in Beijing. I want so badly to kick those two silly little baby wheels away and ride on my own, but I know I need to watch myself or I could fall. And fall hard, if I am not mindful.
