Saturday, January 27, 2007 - Off to Harbin I'm going to Harbin on Monday with Andrea and three days sightseeing in the city I was born in. After that, Andrea goes back to Beijing, but I'm probably going to stay over New Years. That's four weeks, until end of February. Detailed and long-winded tales of my travels will appear, I promise. I expect I will have a lot of time to write, as soon as I settle into the quotidian lull of four weeks' vacation in one place. Blake (on getting a seat on a Chinese bus for the first time): "WOW!! I feel like a ROCKSTAR!!" (later, trying to get off said bus) "Please give me some space! I'm really really fat!!" (I assume people moved out of the way because he was yelling in English, not because he's, y'know, big-boned.) Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - Back in Beijing Yeah, I'm back. I've been on vacation in southern China for the past three weeks or so. I could say it feels good to be back, but really, nuh-uh. Frigidly cold winter air and pollution can't really compare with summer weather and palm trees. My trip was fun and amazing in so many ways. I'll try to post some of the highlights here later. Right now, I gotta try and find a train to Harbin. |
