In Beijing!

Hello everyone! I'm officially in Beijing! I've been here 3 or 4 days now, sorry it's taken so long. It's been, to be subtle, difficult to get on this website. cough cough website's blocked cough. I absolutely LOVE China!!!! The food is fantastic, which is surprising, almost everything is super cheap, and it's such a beautiful country here. I've seen the forbidden city, the imperial garden, and the temple of heaven. China is so amazing, I just can't describe how much i'm loving it here. I just wish i was better at the language, hahaha. I've met some great people and made some great friends. I met a couple New Zealanders, a Canadian-born Chinese, a Puerto Rican, and some cool Thai kids. They are amazing, and we all really miss them after only knowing them for a day. It's so strange, we are so similar, it was like seeing old friends.
Tonight, we had some American food, we went to Burger King. I didn't realize how much I was missing a burger, even though Chinese food is amazing. After dinner the four of us went to the mall just down the street to a mall and went ice skating. It's been a while since I've done it, but I eventually got the hang of it again.

My Trip so far

I'm currently in the Tokyo Narita Airport, waiting for the boarding of my flight to Beijing. Man that was a long flight but I saw so many cool sights. We went over Canada, The North Pole, Russia, North and South Korea, and finally Japan. On our trip, the sun never set, we were chasing the sun and it didn't get dark until 5:00ish here. Although it's 4:40 in the morning in the USA, its 6:40 at night here at the time of this post. Surprisingly, the jet lag hasn't gotten to me yet and I'm feeling tired at the right times, but that could just be my lack of sleep the past two days, 3 hours for 2 days works great, haha.
The exchange rates are great here, but prices are still fairly similar to our own. It's 78 yen for every U.S. Dollar here, but its many thousands of yen for anything in the gift shop.
My last American dinner in NYC was.... Chinese food, lol. Gotta love the irony.
I will post something when we get to our hotel in Beijing, and I'll be sure to post some pictures.

Last Day in America!

Today is my last day in America. We are leaving from JFK Airport at 12:45 pm and flying straight to Tokyo Japan!

Revised Travel Dates

I just found out that my trip was extended almost a full month! I'll be in China until July 21st now instead of June 26th
