A stolen Idea

Saint Augustine once said, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." Which is something I thought was pretty thoughtful.

So I named my blog after it. Now, before you all go praising me for being so cultured as to know things that Saint Augustine said, I should tell you that I stole that quote from my sister's Facebook. Not to say I'm less cultured than my sister, just that she got lucky on this one.

Anyway, I'm going to china in... 19 days!! and holy crap that sounds close. This blog was set up to keep all my loyal fans updated on my progress and such up to the trip and hopefully during the trip as long as I can find an internet connection. I'm pretty sure I'll find one.

Meanwhile, on with the update! I recieved my visa in the mail the other day. This was pretty much the last major hang up in my progress so things are looking pretty chisled in stone now. Below is the most recent e-mail I have recieved from the Company I will be interning with.

"Dear Grady,
Received both forms and questionnaire from you.
Please apply a multiple China tourist visa on your side at your earlier
convenience.  If you need any supporting documents, please feel free to let
us know by return.

As per your last emails, basically you can stay with us from 16 May to 20
Jul 07.  You will work in our factory for 8 weeks and 1 week for a pleasure
trip in China.

Please feel free to call me if you have further questions.

Edna"

Anyway, as you can see, I'll be working in a factory for 8 weeks and then at the end of that, i will be given a ticket to fly anywhere in China I waant to go. Right now I'm a littel partial to the great wall but if anyone has any better ideas, please let me know.


above is a picture of my visa. Cheesy I know but hey, I'm excited

Thanks for reading, I'll try to update often, and God Bless
