I am so sad. Sophia is insisting I give the remaining flour samples back. She won't let me pay for them. Like a thwarted ten year old wanting to end the game by taking his ball and going home.
I wish I could just chalk her behavior up to cultural differences, a typical Chinese misunderstanding. But it is not that. It is her personality. I have been here long enough, have gotten close to enough Chinese friends to know this is not typical.
Of course, with scathing honesty I uploaded here the letter I wrote to her, which contains some harsh talk. I wish I could be more Christian like, lie like a mat and let people use me to their own ends, and respond with a sweet smile. My bad. It is wrong to return hurt for hurt, I know that.
My apartment lease ends May 23. My Web contract ends June 30. I think it is time to pack up and head to Mexico. What do you think?
