I’m Into It
Although I do not presume, or desire for that matter, to be at the center of your interests I do want to apologize for the lack of updates recently. Things are ramping up here in LJ. Last weekend I went to a neighboring province to do some learning. While geographically speaking LJ and XC are only about 200 miles apart, living in the mountains can greatly diminish the expedience of a day trip. Fifteen hours on a Chinese bus is not something I would wish upon anyone, but am glad that I can stuff that in my bag of “been there done that.”
I am leaving tomorrow to do some traveling. I am headed to Hainan Island for a few days of chillaxing, and then to Hong Kong for a few days of being a lame tourist…
I promise to bring back lots of pictures and hopefully a couple of sweet stories as well. I start school as soon as I get back from vacation. I am extremely excited. I’ll be doing 20 hours a week of language courses. The opportunity to take classes is one that I am very grateful for, and I will approach it as an opportunity to cultivate a love and knowledge of the N. language and her people.
I wish I had some more time to let you guys know in greater detail what is going on in my life, but alas, the beach is calling! There will be more time for that later.
Hainan Island
