The Final Countdown

It seems like yesterday we had a month to go, but now we have a week and 2 days! Next Friday at 6:30 pm we will be on a plane to Toronto, then after a small layover, we will be off to Hong Kong. I went from being excited about moving to a new country and experiencing the culture to being passionate about Chinese culture in just 12 hours of emersion class. I now have motivation to finish lesson 1 of the Rosetta Stone and read books about China (as if moving to China shouldn?t be enough of a motivation). We went through a brief history and saw different world events from a Chinese perspective. I have a feeling the next few days will feel sooooo long, but the next week will go by in no time.
