The Joys of Packing/ Brief Itinerary

First Post!

I've just about finished packing for the trip. It'll be really hot everyday (~90s), so I packed accordingly. While packing, I realized I have a large amount of T-shirts and collared shirts, so it took a while to find the ones I was looking for. I also brought along some reading material, including but not limited to the 5.13 textbook and some non-academic books.

For everyone that's been asking me, I will be leaving for China from Logan on Monday at around 7 AM. I'll have a quick layover in Chicago (shoutout to Jenny), then I'll be landing in Shanghai sometime in the afternoon on Tuesday. From there, I'll be starting my journey and adventures across China.

First Stop: Shanghai



Second Stop: Hangzhou/Huang Shan (Yellow Mountain)


Third Stop: Suzhou





Fourth Stop: Wuxi/ Nanjing




Fifth Stop: Zhengzhou



Sixth Stop: Chengde


Seventh Stop: Beijing




Nothing is completely set in stone yet, but I'm sure it'll be an amazing trip! If you have any requests, please let me know :). I'm not sure when I'll be posting again, since I'll have intermittent internet access. Be sure to check back!

Until Next Time,

Bohan

  2. Following Sandra's odd request, check out a penis restaurant for us, will ya? =P

    It'd be awesome if you could take a ton of pictures of pagodas, temples, and other traditional Chinese scenery/architecture. Oh! And lots of skylines and shots of the city at night!

    Have fun!

  7. first of all...it's zhong guo not jon gua, and second the skin choice for this blog, for some reason, is significantly inferior in taste and even with CSS rendering bugs!
