In a few short hours I will leave for China. Including layovers, it will be close to a 24-hour journey. I am grateful for the chance to see China --- I never thought I would get to go there! Here is a list of my pre-departure impressions:
Biggest fear: Not surviving the experience
Greatest hope: Making lifelong friendships with people in my group or with Chinese people I meet
The one thing I'm really looking forward to seeing: The Forbidden City
The one thing I will not do: Eat grasshoppers
The one thing I simply must do: Experience an authentic marketplace
The one thing I am not looking forward to: Getting sick
Please follow my adventures here and let me know your thoughts about all that I will share with you about this amazing journey.
Thank you to the NEA Foundation and the Pearson Foundation for this opportunity.
Not surviving? Please explain. Please let me know if there is any baseball in China!
