A Voyage in the East

Well, I just arrived in China! The air today in Beijing is a smoggy soup. I think there is really no incentive to not smoke in China - the air will do a great job giving you lung cancer! My arrival has been auspicious. I sat next to this guy who is studying in Ottawa. He was very friendly and helpful and has invited me to visit his family in Southern China if I get the chance. I've been awake for 20 plus hours (even cafeine can't save me at this point) so I am going to chow down on some noodles and then explore the back of my eyelids!
