Preparing for a trip is always stressful, especially when going somewhere that I have never been before. This week is preparation week - changing addresses, getting a flu shot, cleaning my apartment and brushing up on my Mandarin. As you all know, I'm leaving for China next Wednesday, October 31st (also known as Halloween), with a direct flight from Chicago to Shanghai Pudong. I'm excited and nervous and ready to get moving.
The intent of this blog is to post my thoughts, stories and hopefully pictures during my stay in Shanghai over the next several months. To get you started on this adventure, I have posted a couple of links including my school and the Shanghai Wikipedia entry.
I thought a fun way to make the blog more interactive is that I will ask a question of you at the end of each entry. Please post your response so that everyone can see!
Question 1: What is the most important thing that you have ever forgotten to take on a trip?
(Hopefully I won't make the same mistake.)
Best wishes-
