I will be posting photographs from my adventures in China on this site. Additional photographs and updates will be posted to my blog.
Because Facebook is a blocked site in China, I unfortunately will not be able to view any messages posted to my account, or be entertained by everyone else's pictures and statuses. Instead, you can contact me the old fashioned way. And by that, I mean email. We can also talk through skype. All of this information can be found under the "contact" tab.
I have been sending out email updates about every week or so. They are more detailed accounts of my interesting encounters with food, people, and other random things. If you are interested in getting those, send me a message and I will be sure to add you to the list.
Thank you for keeping in touch with me while I am away in China! I look forward to hearing from you!
