With only 2,298 miles left to Hong Kong I figured there is no better time than now to write the first blog entry of this journey. Traveling, needless to say, is always a pleasure. Who can resist sitting in a chair for 15 hours, dry air, solidified food and the joy of sitting on top of a complete stranger? For me, I got lucky and quickly switched seats to be next two one of the other China Studies Program students which gave us an opportunity to get to know each other better. So far….this China Experience has been a blast. We all met in spurts inside LAX and ended up at the gate 4 hours before departure. Much laughter, introductions and names were thrown around as we waited for time to pass and to break some of the initial awkwardness.
Nothing more than excitement and curiosity floods my mind. I am sure the exhaustion will kick in at some point but for now, I am ready to go!

We just arrived in Hong Kong and are sitting in the airport waiting for our charter bus. We made it through the airport and past the heat sensing lasers that zap any with fever in fear of swine flu. We only lost a few students in that process.
The airport is a huge and extremely advanced....if it wasn't for the masks and foreign symbols I may think I was in NYC or still LA.
With me luck as our journey begins and we continue in our first ten days in Hong Kong!
