It was a dark Wednesday evening when I arrived in China. Immediately, I was amazed by the sprawling lights and the towering buildings. It has been more then five years since Ive seen the city and a lot has changed. The hectic Beijing airport of the past have been replaced by white tiled floors and a million little lights span the ceiling like stars in the night sky.
Gone are the beggars lining the streets as you exit the airport. Instead, hustlers vie for your attention. As I travel by car to the city of Tianjin, I feel a sense of urgency. I want to become familiar with this place again…to find a sense of security. I realize like all human beings, I like being comfortable and I’m definitely not comfortable….yet.
