An Explanation for You

Because I sent out an invite, I suppose a number of you will be reading for the first time, so I'll synopsize my trip to China for you:

I plan to visit Beijing, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Suzhou. My main goal is to complete the Great Wall Marathon, the site for which you can find easily by Googling. Most of my trip, though, I'll be studying business in China. I've found some contacts over there and am slated to meet with a number of men and women in finance and manufacturing, and others of whose industries I'm yet uncertain.

I wish I had some certainty as to how frequently I'll have internet access over there. As I understand it, it can be hard to come by. But I will post as often as I can, complete with photos and hopefully videos.

Everyone, feel free to leave as many comments as you'd like. I appreciate it.

And please forgive spelling and grammatical errors... I will often be writing quickly and will not have time to edit. Trust me, errors bother me a lot more than they bother you!

Happy reading!

This is screwed up, I had already made my long comments, which I will not repeat. Best of luck for you my friend and I'll keep up with your blog.
Take care.

And don't be nervous, I think the experiences you'll have will last a lifetime. It's worth it.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, you crazy. :-D

Good luck on your journey, did you remember to bring your armor and weapons? I hear that the random enemy encounters on the wall are pretty common. I hope you brought both short range and long range weapons, there are dragons out there. Of course, chinese dragons don't have very big wings, so maybe they don't fly... Oh well, good luck, and don't forget to buy lots of cure1 and cure2 before you embark on your journey!
