You are so much braver and more adventurous than I was at your age. When I was studying in Perth, i didn't take advantage of my time there to travel cos I was afraid of traveling alone 🤡

Fortunately, work pushed me out of my hidey hole. I ended up traveling work on company ticket; Japan, China, England, the US. It definitely opened my eyes to what I wanted in live and to question my preconceived notions about countries and the people.

I was fortunate to visit China during various stages of her development. I was there to personally witness her growth from underdeveloped nation to a wildly developed one.

Now, I have to admit that I am quite a homebody (due to not traveling very well due to being fatigued easily) but I have a thirst to explore China and may do so soon.

Maybe I should visit once again, as you say it has various stages of development, it's mostly different again now from when I was there! Do share some stories once you visited there.

This post encourages me, and gives me permission I feel, to stay in places longer! I do want to spend more time in my homeland of Bangladesh and do hope I get that chance in the future.

Also, I did not know Hakka meant guest people, very cool, and it sounds like the nomadic blood is strong!

I really hope you'll get the chance to stay for a while in Bangladesh! And yes, nomadic blood runs strong, especially in so many of us expats/immigrants nowadays!
