Taking off....soon

I am currently taking a break from packing for a quick update.

Tomorrow I leave for New York City, Friday my flight is at noon and arrive in Beijing 1:50 PM China time and 1:50 AM EST.

I will be staying with a family that is friends with my professor for a few days, while I get settled and look for an apartment. I am really excited about the opportunity to live with a Chinese family and see how they live.

In terms of my school, all I really know for sure is that registration is August 30 and 31st. After that, I don't know anything else about it that isn't on wikipedia or found through a google search. Their website is awful and of no use unfortunately perhaps because the school isnt a popular one among westerners.  At least from what is available online.

Here are some links if you want to take a look. The last link is also a great forum for anything China-related and is where I have spend many hours!

Thats all for now. The next post will be from China, whenever I get internet access!
