What Was I Thinking?!? Whilst in a foreign country, it is recommended to try new foods, learn the language, and alienate as many locals as possible.

Yesterday's Trips

CHINA | Wednesday, 2 Sep 2009 | Views [347] | Comments [3]

So yesterday we toured Lushun, which is apparently the place we live. Either that, or it's close. Dalian's the major city nearby. I dunno. I'm getting them all confused. All I know is that my Chinese blows and that I have approximately 23 mosquito ... Read more >

Henshan Temple

CHINA | Monday, 31 Aug 2009 | Views [454] | Comments [1]

Today we went to the Henshan Temple. It was spectacular. The ride there was fairly uneventful, though we went up into the mountains on these tiny roads. It was a little frightening especially since our bus driver hurtled as opposed to drove. Our first ... Read more >

Oceanic Division Line Park (Yesterday)

CHINA | Monday, 31 Aug 2009 | Views [655]

So we left sometime in the afternoon for some park that I didn't realize was going to be on the ocean. I didn't even remember the name until I asked Lily, who is our Chinese tutor. You'll see her in some of the pictures on my Picasa page. She's really ... Read more >

The Trip Here

CHINA | Saturday, 29 Aug 2009 | Views [567] | Comments [1]

The trip here was so long. The night before I only had one hour of sleep as my friend Miriam just had to take me to see Inglorious Basterds one last time before I left. Not that I was complaining, mind you. But I was so exhausted the whole trip. The ... Read more >

I'm Here

CHINA | Saturday, 29 Aug 2009 | Views [405] | Comments [1]

I just wanted to shoot off a quick note saying I'm here, I'm alive, and I'm okay. It's 10:41 pm here and I'm exhausted as all get out so I'm hitting the hay, but needless to say, I shall be recounting my adventures in tomorrow's edition of REBECCA VS ... Read more >

Day Before Lift-Off

USA | Wednesday, 26 Aug 2009 | Views [490]

There are very few words to describe how I feel right now. A mixture of excitement and terror would be understating the excitement and terror I'm feeling right now. Anxious does not even begin to describe my want to get the heck outta Dodge and my nervousness ... Read more >

Throat Trouble

USA | Thursday, 20 Aug 2009 | Views [458]

I realized how much of an innuendo my title was as I was typing it out. Then I realized that my throat still fucking hurts and I don't give a shit. I went to the Urgent Care. I figured if it was strep, I should take care of it *before* I get on the ... Read more >

J-Pat!

USA | Tuesday, 18 Aug 2009 | Views [505]

WE MISS YOU ALREADY JOSH PATTERSON! Last night, you left us! You are such a lame-sauce! I cried, I'll admit it. From what I heard though, Sarah cried more. So she wins in the 'Tearful Missing You' category. But I'll miss you, like, a fillion times more.... Read more >
