Hey Everyone
I am finally safely in China. It is like nothing I have everexperienced. Hereeveryone assumes I speak Manderine, when I don't. Mytrip from Canada was quite the experience. The first two flights werelong, but smooth. However, the thirdflight from Beijing to Guangzhouwas bad. After we were boarded the flight, it was delayed for threehours. This however allowed me to sleep for 5 hours on a 3 hour flight. After my first full day in China my experienceshave beeninteresting. We sat through a class of english teaching today, and itwas a pleasent learning experience, then we did some touring of thedowntown of Guangzhou. The people on my team, were constantly beingstared at everywhere we went, do to them all being white. I will send another update soon.
