4 days

Can anybody say T-minus 4 days until I leave for a huge metropolis? I'm not that nervous though, but I wonder what it must feel like for people who have never been abroad, nor have seen China or any other Asian country besides the moderately-western Japan. It must be a big culture shock for anybody experiencing those types of things. Thankfully, I downloaded Skype prior to taking off so I won't have to worry about that. In the meantime though I should boost up my vocabulary a bit so I will be ready for the exam they'll give that will place me in a certain catagory. For now they placed me in Advanced I Chinese, but we'll see if I remember much. I haven't really had a fluent conversation with a native speaker in a while, so it should be fun as I pronounce all the characters in the Japanese equivilant of each Chinese character.

Destination: 19 Days

This is my first time posting any of my opinions or thoughts on the lovely place we call the internet so don't get all acquainted and comfortable with yourself yet. I'm leaving on the 22nd, so I just wanted to post it for all you peoples who know this address.
