Welcome
For anyone who stumbles across this page this is where I will blog my adventure while studying in China. I started this because when I started I knew nothing other than to show up at the university on September 10th.. This will be my third time abroad, I have already studied in France and Japan.
My goal is to share the adventure and hope that someone other than my family and girlfriend will read it or learn something from it. Please look, read and comment.
**Updates**
*New Color Scheme & animations! Happy Halloween
*For fellow students I uploaded files for studying. The links are on the left.
*On the bottom of the page is a following gadget. Please add yourself to let me know that you follow this blog! Kind of like the friends from myspace!
*New Links on the left for new podcast. I have to admit the paranormal podcast is particularly awsome. And awsome props to touchstone, I can't live without your weekly podcast.

So today i went to the summer palace. I dont know what to say other then look at the photo. it was the getaway of the emperors. i wouuld love to live there. the photos speak more for themselves than i could. i just walked around and had the time of my life walking through the gardens and the palace.
I did have a good time at the back of the palace was a small market that was built to give the illusion that the emporors were involved in common life, doing such things as shopping. the market was fully restored and allowed visitors to shop like the ancients. i did stop ot have lunch and food was alright and remarkably not overpriced. however there was a catch. the tea cost as much as the entire meal. there is always a catch. and well i fell for it.
but the market was fun. i wanted to buy a kite but again resist the temptation! walking back through the garden to the entrance and back to the hostel for a good night sleep.
