This is the official establishment of the China Trip blog for Morgan, Rachel, Alex, Shacka, and Antonio--comments are welcome, but if you're going to be rude, remember that Jesus hates liars, thieves and people who blog in rude fashions.
That having been said, it's currently 5:46 AM in the morning on Sunday, May 25th and I have just finished packing because I know for goddamn sure that I won't be doing it when I wake. We leave TOMORROW. I am mentally going over my basic knowledge of the Chinese language, including the phrases duo shao qian (how much money), tai gui (too expensive), and ji nu (prostitute).
In all seriousness (no, we will not be eliciting brothels--any wishes for vicarious happy endings through tales of back rooms in smoke-filled bars or makeshift beauty parlors will have to wait for some other, less morally rooted friends), we hope that you will enjoy our chronicling of our time in China. We will be visiting a slew of historical, cultural, and plain wonderful places, and I hope that those who read the posts will be able to find the same appreciation as I have and always will for the great amount of growth and progress the country has experienced after a long half century of tumult. Please enjoy reading at your leisure--I hope we can open a window to a world, culture, and people that are as close to us as the jeans we wear on our legs, yet an entire world away.
