Goodday to mah homies! Word. I’m wasting time for one last email from China when I should be working on my paper which is due before we leave the country, which is tomorrow morning!

Ni-hao cong Beijing (hello from Beijing)! Yes, I’m sitting here in the New World dept. store at an internet cafe. About 130 computers or so. Ahhh, I LOVE malls in Asia! Big, fashionable, yet cheap. Well, the flight from San Fran to Beijing was about 12 hours. I slept as much as I could, but I did end up watching “Proof of Life.” As we circled over Beijing around 6:30pm, …continue reading
