#2. Happy Birthday to Dan Kerry & Ewout Van den Berg, two good friends (hopefully you guys are following my blog).

Leaving Beijing for Dalian

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

So I still have more pictures and videos to share from my stay in Beijing, but for those keeping track, just wanted to let you know that I’m leaving Beijing tonight. I’m traveling by train to Dalian, a beautiful (from what I’ve been told) city in the North-East of China. I’m not sure how much time I will have to update, but I will do my best to find an internet connection and keep posting.

Peace from Beijing,
