Emma and I have been planning our trip to mainland China. We booked a one-way flight to Beijing, leaving Hong Kong on the morning of October 5th, connecting in Shanghai, and arriving seven hours later. A lot of the other exchange students are traveling then as well, so odds are we will see them there! Basically the plan is to fly to Beijing, stay in a hostel, see Forbidden City, other tourist attractions, ect on the 6th, camp on the Great Wall on the 7th (!!!!!) and take the high speed train back to Hong Kong on the 8th.
Tomorrow, we have to go to the Chinese embassy to get our visa stuff worked out. Emma's visa will be much cheaper than mine since she is from Wales. Americans have to pay about $150 USD for China multiple entry visas. Hopefully, all will go smoothly and we will have our visas ready to go in four business days!
Your resilient spirit triumphs over food poisoning - yeah! By the way, you are NEVER too old to miss TLC from mom or grandma when you are sick!
