Ta-dahhhhh! New blog to be filled with everything from my trip in less than a week to Beijing and hopefully much much more. I'm super excited for this trip, even though I'm nervous too. It'll be weird not being able to read signs or understand what people are saying; fortunately we learned how to say our names! Right now it's just packing, packing, and more packing. Don't forget the camera cord or the Pepto, remember to pack business casual as well as normal clothes, etc.etc. So much to remember! I'll be sure to update when I can! Our dorms at Tsinghua University will have internet connection, so it should be fairly often.
There will be 22 students on the trip, roughly half engineering and half business, as well as a professor and graduate student. I don't know many of the students yet, but I can't wait to make new friends! It'll be interesting seeing Beijing through the viewpoint of the business students as well, seeing as I only tend to focus on the engineering aspects.
The next few days should be craZAzy with packing, so I'll update when we're on our way!

At the rate you are going your Las Vegas trip at 21 is going to be BORING !!!.
Seeing and learning things at the sight is much more exciting.
Hope you have some great travel partners.

Papa says Keep your eyes open and your presence of mind. Learn how to say "Where's the men's room?" in Mandarin. Oh.............and have FUN!

Jill - The Chinese are so amazing - kind, funny, fabulous cooks, natural merchants - and they were engineers while we were still crawling around in the swamps - such fun! Travel safely! Georgia
