Awesome! Too bad we aren't overlapping! When I get back I'll fill you in on what you need to know! Right now I don't know anything. :doh: :beaten:

Nah, we actually went over the arctic. It was verra cool!

Have fun in China! Remember, when buying, haggle! Chop the price by 1/8. Also, don't eat fruit unless you peel the skin. Stay away from salads. Eat only warm-hot food (no raw fish!). Don't drink the water. Don't cross the street like the locals! Don't take photos of the locals. O, and have fun! :woot:

What's up with that? Do they get all bent over it or something?

Have fun. Be sure to wear the Japanese flag everywhere you go..... :beaten:

YESH! And it was so frustrating, because they kept taking photos of US. It was really annoying. We realized that the best way to scare them off was to hold up our own cameras and point it at them.

Haha...I would have walked around with a camera glued to my eyeball.

Alrighty, two weeks after my return and I've FINALLY got things organized. I sifted through 880 pics and organized them by days. Here's the first two days: http://www.wyntersworld.com/china.html.

For those with access to my blog, I've posted my first entry. :D :woot:

I should have Day Three done by the end of tomorrow.

Did you see the pic of the Hair Salon? I still can't get over how awesome they were in Beijing. Mind you, the salons weren't this hyped up in Shanghai...

It WAS hard, as we asked for bowls, but they said no. :pout: Every other restaurant gave us bowls tho. :good: I think...
