So, a few planes, trains and automobiles (not to mention one very sketchy night with all 11 of us in one tiny hostel room) later, I'm here. No quarantine for us. The entire plane seemed to be full of hacking, hocking passengers in severe respiratory distress, but luckily the lady at the fever scanning machine seemed to be asleep at the wheel.
So I'm in Nanjing, land of the grumpy taxi drivers, taking classes in Chinese for the next two weeks. So far, the highlight of my trip has been eating these crazy dumplings that have soup inside them (genius, right?) and conquering the frick-frackety Great Firewall (take that, my censorious red compatriots). Apparently blogger.com is blocked in China as well as facebook and pretty much every other site by which you might communicate with the outside world. Bastards.
