Arrived in China

Finally arrived in China after an epic 30 hour journey! Haven't seen much yet, but we had a great dinner last night.



Finally arrived in China after an epic 30 hour journey! Haven't seen much yet, but we had a great dinner last night.

I'm here to take a 3-week plant breeding class at Northwestern A&F University, in Yangling, Shaanxi, about an hour outside Xi'an, in central China.

Today i'll be exploring, trying to find things i need (a mattress, pillow, food, a dictionary, etc.). Thankfully, we have Lilly-Anne, who speaks Mandarin.

Yum, that food looks great. I can't wait to see what some of the countryside looks like.

This is so cool Mike! I didn't know you were going! At least you'll have a decent amount of time there to really get a taste of the country.
I know that of all the places Jay has been, when it came to food, China was in a league of it's own! Vegetarian? What's that?

You'll have an amazing time. Looking forward to reading all about it.
