Alost On De Plane

Shoooooot. I hurt all over. LA was a great time hangin' with Karen and Uncle Ed. We basically did a food tour of southern Cali, or so it seemed. Needless to say it ended crappily. I got food poisoning last night, yacked in Karen's car, yacked all night long (and didnt sleep) at the hotel. I still feel miserable today, but at least I can keep some food/water down.

China is almost here! I'm actually sitting at the gate right now. Most of the kids I've met so far from the program are pretty cool, a few idiots, but I suppose you'll find those everywhere. Now I have to get in gear and try to make it on an airplane for 18 hours without dying. Fun! Anyway, I'll post again in Beijing! Say me a prayer for my crappy stomach/body.

Have a great time and absorb all the culture you can - I can't wait to hear about it when you get back!
Love you!

Dear Nathan,
I hope you are having a fabulous time in Beijing. Today is Mother's Day and my baby is thousands of miles away. He is making his mother very proud that she raised an adventurous and independent thinker. Remember your blog is open to the world, watch your spelling and grammer. Show that you are college educated :-).Enjoy safe travels and leave a first class impression on the Chinese and Tibetans so that one day they will welcome you back. Love, Mom

Dear Nathan,

I hope you're feeling better and that after three days in le Chinois you are becoming acclimated. Remember to experience; not observe. As best you can, walk in their shoes and see the country as they see it: the beauty as only a citizen can see it.
Love, Dad

Hello Xi'an, Bye Bye Beijing

ALRIGHT! Finally a chance to update! We have been a busy little delegation on diplomacy here in China. The flight over was miserable to say the least. 13.5 hours on the plane to Shanghai and then another 2 to get to Beijing... I was pooped! We got into the hotel, which was extremely nice, at around 12am on Sunday (our time). We had a light Western dinner (they made us crustless sandwiches) and went to bed. I'll put more in the DVD about the hotel, but it was definitely a 3-4 star. Extremely nice. The next day we had our first group meeting, got to know some other people and had an introductory cultural briefing by one of the people in the tour company that scheduled everything for us over here. After that, we ate lunch at the Yueshanfang restaurant (pretty good, but not the best... the fish and chicken with their heads still on freaked us all out a bit), and went to the Imperial Summer Palace. The palace was extremely crowded, but served as a great starting point for learning about...
