Takin’ Care of International Business (ft. Me)

OK, so I’m going to tell you all right off the bat that the only reason that I am writing this blog is to get credit for school; however, this blog is still going to be awesome. 

Daniel’s Rule One of Blogging: Every post must include the word awesome. 

So I have begun to plan my upcoming trip to China and I must say, there is a lot to do.  Here is a list of the things I have done to prepare:

1. Buy a plane ticket.

That’s about all I have planned at this point.  Here is a list of things that I have yet to accomplish:

1. Get a visa
2. Find a place to live
3. Enroll in classes
4. Pack

Needless to say I have a bit left to do, but that doesn’t mean I have been totally unproductive in getting ready for my trip.

My parents are about to stroke out because of Everything China (at one point my Dad, who speaks NO Mandarin, said he was going to fly over with me to help finalize everything).  I am looking forward to this trip though with cautious optimism.  I’ll be the first to admit that I am not the most adventurous eater (my Mom is convinced I’m going to try and live off of peanut-butter sandwiches) but I am still excited to try some of the more… interesting cuisine.  I maintain that by the time I return to the States, I will have eaten Dog, Snake, and Scorpions (and if I can fit it in, one or two sea horses). 

 Well, I need to get back to figuring out all the stuff I have left to do.  

I leave you with this picture:

I REALLY hope they don't eat babies over there...
