Prior to Departure

So guys! I have one week, exactly, before I'm on a plane headed to China. I'm really excited! So much so that everyday seems to drag by...ugh! It's truly torturous. So, to keep myself distracted, I've been doing some cleaning, packing (not really), and some research on China. It seems that China is a country that loves to block sites that are essential to life, you know...sites like Facebook, blog sites, and anything else that is fun or social in nature. So, I faced my first challenge, how to bypass the Chinese Government's control of the internet. I am happy, and not a little excited, to say that I have succeeded. Thanks to a friend who's already over there in China, I have been armed with a program that fulfills my needs. So, have no fear, I will be able to relay my experiences while abroad.

Now, my next challenge is to actually pack and find my digital camera, which, for some strange reason, has taken in its mind to run off to some unknown locale. Hopefully it returns soon, or it will have to be replaced! I cannot condone wayward appliances, they must know their place, which is on my dresser!

Okay, that's it for now! I will hopefully have found my camera, and had a wonderful start to my Chinese experience by the next blog entry!!

  4. Greetings and salutations, Marcus. I have begun to read about your adventures, and am laughing. It appears as though you have become at home in your new environment and with your travel partners. Brown eggs for breakfast?&% ugh. Wobbly legs and all. Pam
