The Fish Goes Across the Pond

So in case you haven't heard and you're still interested and reading my blog (which both would be a surprise to me), I'm going to China at the end of June. The reason that I'm telling you all this is that I plan on electronically keeping you all informed on my travels in the People's Republic! I know, I know... you can't keep you excitement contained, but please, for the sake of the general public, keep yourself under control.

The trip will be part of a study tour with my school, Bridgewater State College, so this is going to be educational, but knowing me, it'll be more entertaining for you readers.



I will be acquiring a digital camera (hopefully), and will be taking many, many pictures. I will also be keeping a written journal and my hope is that I can scan them and actually show you what I have written down in my journal. Pretty freakin' sweet, huh? My intentions are to keep family, friends, and you web surfers who happen to find this page, just what a trip to China would be like. Kind of like my perspective on everything from the sights, culture, food, language, people, and economy.

Before leaving, I want to put up some articles about some history of China, as well as my itinerary, and some information on the places that I am going while I'm there.

Please check back in as I will start writing in my journal before I leave so you can get a feel of how I'm doing before I leave for my trip. Also, leave comments if there is anything you'd like to ask me or would like to know and I will try to find out a much information about it as I can.

Again, I really want to encourage reader participation so that it gives me more to work with and I can keep this information for years to come and share it with others who hope to study abroad.

I'm signing out for now, but remember to check back in as I will try to be updating as much as possible. Later!
