That's right folks...tomorrow I am headed to BEIJING! I know my last post was kind of depressing, it was a sad day for me. But things are looking brighter because we have a ten day vacation. We are headed to Beijing and then Xi'an. Within the next week, I will have been to and seen:
The Great Wall of China
Tiananmen Square
The Forbidden City
The Silk Market/ Pearl Factory
A Chinese Acrobat Show
The Temple of Heaven
The Terracotta Warriors
And lots more! I would keep going with the list, but I don't want to make anyone jealous.
I must say.... IT TOOK A LOT OF PLANNING. I never imagined how much time, and planning it took to figure out a vacation! We had to purchase train tickets, bus tickets, find accommodations at a hostel, figure out expenses, plan the details of everything we wanted to see, and so forth...
All I can say is that it will be totally worth it! I am extremely excited, and a tad bit nervous. Okay.. maybe way nervous.
