Im back from China and I already miss it, I want to go back. I’m dead tired and out of it, this jet lag is killer. The worst happened, I realized when I got home that my camera was not with me. After a 14 hour flight I guess I just forgot it on the plane. Every photo I took on the whole trip lost. I’m sad but at least I have the memories still. Friends said that they would give me theirs but it’s still not the same. I called the airline and I’m just crossing my fingers that they find it.
The trip was amazing though. I got to meet with important people that have been living and working their for some time. I saw the Surface table at Microsoft. I meet with Nokia, studied at a University larger than any other University I have ever been seen. Ate some of the best food in my life. Went to a rave were the Great Wall of China meet the ocean. The main things I took from it was that there are other cities than New York. I could completely live in Beijing and work. Living another countries life for a month really puts your life back home into perspective. I will never forget this trip and will be returning soon.
I will post stories from the trip as I get more photos. Cross your fingers I find my camera.

I’m a bit late of the first post but welcome to China. My first impression was, “wow this place is different”. Th flight was long, very long.I fell slept for a long time, woke up and still had 6 hours. This photo is when we were over Antarctica, pretty nuts.

We went for food right when we got here. I was a bit skeptical about food first coming here; I have to say its unreal. You can’t even compare the food to American Chinese.

Like New York there are stand everywhere, some are a bit risky food wise. There are people selling fruit all over. The leeches are good.

Tiered but ready for more.
