The Countdown Begins


My Chinese Visa

So it’s officially started, my one week countdown to a two week trip through China is on. It’s a bit maddening to say the least, however the tour I’m taking is fairly americanized, which means the culture shock should be a little easierto handle, but from what I’ve heard from friends I really don’t have a whole lot to worry about.

 

Clothes, Camera & Computer, the three c’s for a winning trip.  I wish it could just be the first two, but I realize there’s no way I can take a 12 hour flight without being semi-productive with as much work as i have to do these days.  Hopefully on the way over if by pure luck there is a power adapter, I can re-build the whatsopen site with the new features and framework I’m pioneering for our revision.  Maybe on the way back I can start going through all my photos and hit the US with a jump start on all the shotty I’ll be taking.

 

There are two phrases I need to master before I go.  “Where is the bathroom” and “Can I take your picture”.  I honestly feel if I have those covered, the rest will just fall into place.  I’m also adding the data package to my iPhone this week so I should be able to moblog some photos along the way.  I wish Val could get the time off to go with me, but hey it’s not the last time I plan to travel to Asia, so at least the first time around I’ve got a base for what to expect.

 

I leave May 5th @ 7am, so if you need any Jimmy-lov’n before that hit me up, this week is already going faster than it should be and the work level is not going down as fast as I’d hoped.
