I am currently at Beijing University! The airplane ride was excellent. Out of the whole plane my row was the only one to have three seats open, so I slept on all three for 11 hours of the 12 hour plane ride (1 hour for food). I really needed the rest, so it was a great blessing. Beijing has so far been an amazing experience. I really like studying Chinese here. Today was my first day of class. I have a roommate that shares the same faith and we both like to exercise and eat healthy food! I have very nice teachers here and Beida is known to pamper their foreign students. I just worked out all the ins and outs of getting internet access here. I hope this posts gets on blogger. I cannot see all the webpages including my own blog, but hopefully this will get through. Maybe some pictures will show up too -- it's worth a try. Will post more later! Just wanted to let you all know that I'm safe and thanks for all your prayers. =)

Day Before Departure
Thursday, July 26, 2007
Today is the day before I leave for China. My final went well after 5 stormy weeks at Stanford. Thank the Big Man. I feel a bit anxious but I have so many little errands to run before I go to sleep tonight. =)
Here are some pictures of our wonderful community of support at Stanford. Makes me feel very happy when I know my family and friends fully support me 100%. My brother even let me borrow his favorite security pouch. For this and more, I'm ready to start this one-month intensive language training adventure at a new and foreign home. I'll miss everyone much...enjoy the pictures and hopefully more updates/fun to come in China.
