Peace Out CubScout

This is my first attempt ever at a blog, so while I hope to be entertaining as well as descriptive of my Asian encounters over the next couple years, bear with me, for I fear my thoughts won't be as great once "published".

It's been a long endeavor getting to this point, but after making it here, I've got a great feeling it will be worth all the efforts made.

Now, as most of you know, my other travel excursions usually consisted of me and a backpack. Not this time. When they tell you to bring something that reminds you of home, well I did just that. And while I don't regret the bags I brought, as I looked around, I found myself realizing I was "that girl".... who brought a lot... almost too much in some peoples minds. I'll tell you this though! My sleeping bag, as well as a few other comfy and warm possessions will come in handy... so I embrace the difficulties of carrying my belongings. Guess what United Airlines, I will pay the overweight fee, because I'm moving to China.... DEAL WITH IT bohemian hippies with their one suitcase and flippie floppies. This time, I'm rollin' in styleeeee.

Well it's been an incredibly long day already, with only more information being given to us, however, through all the exhaustion, heavy lifting of bags, registration and orientation, I am FINALLY off to the city of smog, China!

I'll do my best to update as much as possible and please keep in touch with me as I am away.

Miss you all.

xoxo
