I went to Hangzhou last summer for 汉语桥 and after tasting that delicious 龙井茶，I downed the remainder of my glass thinking it would wake me up a bit (I was tired, and it was hot). Then I heard my tour guide say "我们最地道的龙井茶会让失眠的休息好了". I was thinking tea has caffeine, I should be fine... then I passed out and had to be awakened by a friend. As embarrasing as that was I would go through it again. 我很想杭州， 很想西湖， 很想我的汉语桥朋友们... Matt C, you're included, of course... hell, I should say most of all. 北京 and 长沙, crazy times, eh?
