Quarantine

Well, we were just informed by the Chinese government (via Ole Miss Study Abroad) that if one person on our plane of around 400 people has any flu-like symptoms, the gov't will quarantine the entire plane in a hotel for seven days. Hmm...

But hopefully that won't happen.

Just an update, trying to filling up the internet before I leave in 10 DAYS 11 HOURS.

Goodbye, America.

No one reads my blog :(

I've had around 4 comments in the year history of my blog. Maybe (hopefully!) at least a few people are reading this and just don't comment. Maybe when I leave, it will get more popular.

Anyway, TWO WEEKS!

In 14 days I will be waiting in Memphis to board my flight the next day. First, I'll fly to Detroit, where I'll meet the other four people who are going to Shanghai with me. Then, we're off for a 14-ish hour direct flight to Shanghai.

I'm so excited. We decided to cut out Suzhou and spend an extra day in Nanjing instead. We realized that we're going to have so much luggage to carry around and this way, we'll be able to go straight from Nanjing to Qingdao, rather than backtracking to Shanghai and then to Qingdao.

More later (when it's actually interesting)!
