I'm sitting at the airport right now waiting on my last domestic flight to Beijing.  The last 4.5 weeks have flown by very fast...it's been fun and tiring at the same time.  Beijing will be the first time that I am truly alone (until Helen comes on Sunday).... Read more >

Hong Kong is such a nice city...so clean compared to the other cities I've visited.  There are so many shopping centers...too bad I didn't have time to do more shopping!  We got to HK around 12:30 to meet up with Wendy and Patrick but they were running ... Read more >
