Two days to go ... shame on me!

So I spent all of Sunday procrastinating. I entertained some friends from out of town, and neglected posting to my blog. I emailed a few of my students about the blog, and I plan to email all my friends that might be interested in the China trip to follow along on the blog. I wonder to myself, will anyone bother to even check it? Will they post anything ... even a comment to say cool?

We'll see!

Today (after I get up from my insomniac ways), I will fire up the macintosh and play around on the Chinese language software. I am going to force myself to learn basic phrases necessary for simple conversation in Chinese. I already know how to say "hello, how are you?" and "thank you." That however is not enough, is it? I also want to be able to count and get prices right so I can haggle at the markets if necessary. There comes out the African in me again, intent on haggling even before we have arrived.
