Winter break arrives in Zhengzhou! My students' semester end tests finished on Wednesday and my last class was Friday (Jan 14). I took it as a chance to introduce them to Dunkin Donuts.
That means that I have until February 21st free. This Tuesday I’m starting my month-long travels. A friend and I are going around Southern China while school is off for Chinese New Year. We’re planning to go to Huangshan, 3 Gorge dam, Guilin, Kunming, Lijiang, Chengdu, Xi’an, Shaolin Temple, and Luoyang The map below highlights the route. Hopefully we’ll make it to all the places. With the Chinese New Year, the transportation system is overwhelmed as one billion people attempt to travel home and back for the holiday. Thus, we’re crossing our fingers that we can get tickets and hostels.
Anyway, in between climbing Yellow Mountain, floating through mystically illuminated limestone caves, and holding a baby panda, I’ll check my e-mail at hostels, but will be mostly out of contact as I explore the culture of seven different provinces!
