Hello everybody! Sheena and I have changed countries since I last updated. We're outside Kunming, China in Yunnan province. We're in a quaint little Chinese mountain town which we're having a lot of fun exploring. My friend Sterling has graciously offered to update my blog for me through e-mail since the Chinese government goes a little crazy with information control and censors blogspot.com (as well as wikipedia & the BBC!).
We've also had a change of plans. We had originally intended to make for Beijing so we could live cheaply and work on creative projects and our respective portfolios, perhaps teaching English on the side to support ourselves. Sadly, I had a bit of a fiasco with my student loans and it looks like I won't be able to afford to stay in China any longer. All good things must come to an end, though.
Once I realized that the end was fast approaching, I found that I was okay with it. I have had an amazing trip full of unforgettable escapades, and Sheena has loved her first overseas experience as well. I really miss friends and family; in fact that's the thing I'm most looking forward to upon returning (that and pizza). While I am a little bummed out that I'll have to get a real job, start shaving again and look (moderately) respectable, going home will be culture shock all over again, in a good way. And it gives us an excuse to begin dreaming of our next adventure.
Expect to see Sheena and I back home mid to late February. Look forward to seeing everybody!"
Thanks for posting that dross, Ster.
