It has begun
China, I have arrived. Actually, I've been here in the People's Republic now for almost a week, but amidst all the excitement of Chinese New Year and keeping myself busy exploring Beijing, I've yet to write anything about my trip.
The day after I arrived, I was met by my fully-bearded partner in crime, Matt “Soup” Huffman, who has been told by the Chinese that he bares more resemblance to an Arab than an American (and, apparently with my new buzzed hair and 5 o'clock shadow, I look German). We've since partaken in all the madness of Chinese New Year in addition to taking in the temples, the parks, the Forbidden City, and, of course, the Great Wall of China. We'll be in Beijing for another few days before pushing off to our next destination (Guilin; in southern China). I'm going to take a day before we head down there to catch up on writing and pictures, so keep an eye out for some new posts before then.
