So I’ve been in China for about 12 days now. It’s really tiring. My trip here is from July 27 to August 31.  The first 3 weeks are spent with my parents who must visit something every day, sometimes two things and I’m really tired; and the last 2 will be more relaxed with just me and Ling at her folk’s.

So despite the tough schedule, it’s amazing here. The first shock was ariving in Beijing, and getting a car ride to the hotel. People here drive all over the road, streets are all crowded with cars, bikes, motorcycles people in a big blob, and somehow it works. Most drivers are really friendly towards each other, honking is not a big insult like back home.

It’s late and I want to keep this short so today I will just give a summary of things I’ve done.

• I’ve visited Beijing for a week, 2-3 items every day, it was killer there. Ling’s uncle Weihua Lin took care of us there.
• Took the night train over to Changsha, Hunan province.
• Spent a couple days in Changsha, was more relaxing. Ling’s parents took care of us there.
• Hopped in the car to our current location: Zhangjiajie, Hunan province. Ling’s parents are accompanying us here. I’ve been here for 3 days now, and it’s just breathtaking. I suggest google image search on this place until I post some pics.
• Tomorrow morning, we’re leaving for another town. I haven’t been there yet nor seen the name written down so i have no clue what it’s called.  (Ling told me 2-3 times, but I don’t remember)

Anyways, I intend to post more (probably gradual posts about each city, maybe go into more detail about the highlight attractions, all with photos) when I get home.
