Nanning

Update: Am in Nanning...its hot and boring...and they eat dog here...

Jessica & Graham will arrive tomorrow, until then I will be at Chao Fang Fandian, watching Chinese cartoons and reading my wares from the Foreign Language bookstore! Because the consulate is not open on Saturday or Sunday, the three of us will probably not get our visas for Veitnam until Tuesday or even Wednesday. Please lift up Sarah, as she is trying to work out a way to get down here to meet us. Travling in China is nothing short of evil during Spring Festival, and she is having difficulties figuring out how to get out of the country on a dollar she can afford!

On a side note just for Angelyn...its official. Wuchang is the 5th circle of hell! Words cannot do justice crawling through the construction, mudholes, and spring festival travelers in freezing sleet with a broken umbrella for 45 minutes. Was almost run over by a bus. Lets just say that January 11th will forever be remembered as the day I severly voilated the principles of jovial January and felt vindicated for every second that I didn't eat sugar. Totally worth it!
