Haven't posted in a while, so here is a small smörgåsbord of what I've been up to in Beijing, thanks by the way for all the comments and emails :)

WOW! tha's a lot!

Some more news from China

I've been doing all kinds of stuff lately. Visiting lots of places getting to know Beijing, and taking a few days off to another province to visit a small, amazing small cityt named Pingyao (pictures to follow in the coming days). I got back two days ago to begin looking for a new apartment to share with Ross. Things are crazy and wonderful, I'm picking up a few words in Chinese and I'll begin classes as soon as this apartment question is solved. Meanwhile, I send out these funny signs and things I've seen in China thus far and a big hug. Still think about Miami all the time :) Lots of posts and pics to come this week!!!

p.s. the middle picture is of a scone in a popular faux-French style bakery near where i live, and the second to last picture is the sign at the hotel we stayed at in Pingyao.

I made it! I'm in Beijing, and it's great. The picture shows the route the plane took over the North Pole. Here are few more pics from the flight including glaciers and mountains at the very ends of North America and Russia, as well as Mongolian & Chinese deserts and the mountains just outside of Beijing. Pics of my first few days to come :)
