Going to China!
As I think I have mentioned before, I am taking another trip. In 2 (two) weeks from today, I will be leaving for China. I just received my tourist Visa so I am allowed to enter the country, and that was the last piece of the puzzle. I am actually quite happy that everything is in place two weeks before I leave, rather than two days.
On April 4th, at 11:10am, I will be flying out of Fresno-Yosemite International airport, flying through Portland, Oregon and Tokyo, Japan to arrive in Beijing, China at 9:25pm on April 5th.
The plan is to spend April 6th exploring some of Beijing (on my own). Then that night I will take an overnight train to Xi'an to see the Terra Cota Warriors and some other areas of that city.
After Xi'an, I will be taking another train to Jiaozuo which is where my friend works. My friend Neil teaches English at Henan Polytechnic University, and I will be spending almost the entire trip with him. He has traveled to all of these areas, and since he is living in China for this year he knows a fair amount of the Chinese language. In Jiaozuo we will get to visit a factory, a local farm, and some of the markets, as well as a little more of the Chinese culture.
From Jiaozuo, we will take another overnight train back up to Beijing. This time in Beijing I will get to see more of the city, including Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, as well we will be going to see a section of the Great Wall of China that is near Beijing.
I am flying out of Beijing on April 15th at 9:05am, flying through Tokyo, Japan and Los Angeles, California and arriving in Fresno, California at 12:22pm that same day.
It will be a very exciting trip, and I will make sure to post pictures and details about what I did while there. You may have noticed that I have included a lot of links in this post, all links are directed toward the Wikipedia pages describing the specific locations and subjects.
