Pre-flight jitters

Pre-flight jitters, oh yeah, I’m going to China.

In less than 24 hours (barring delays) I'll be in the air non stop LA to Beijing.

So tonight's the night to stress out. To sit here and go over all my stuff again and again trying to figure out what I'm going to forget. Researching to make sure there's no extra step I'm missing for getting out of the country and into China. This is an important step for me, trust me. Just ask about Argentina and passports sometime...Who knew right?

Tomorrow while everyone's eating turkey I'll be eating a bag of cashews on the Pacific Surfliner train to LA, then it's a quick, (HAHAHHAHAHHAHHA) bus through LA to the airport. In reality I should probably leave now, but I'm hoping for once to just not get unlucky and it should all be just fine.

That's about all that's new in my world. Why Beijing? Because of a good friend who's been living out there for the last few years. I've been promising to head out there forever and there's no time like midnight on thanksgiving to make good on one's word.

I have no idea what I'm in store for, could barely find china on a map and most 100% can not tell you where Beijing is or what it's major exports are. I'm not even sure which dialect of completely foreign to me either way chinese they speak, Mandarin or Szechuan? Is Szechuan the other one or is that the crispy beef? Well hopefully I'll learn that and other interesting facts in the next month.

So keep watching this space, as long as Myspace isn't censored out there I'll be posting updates as much as possible. If it IS censored, you can reach me at natecmurray@gmail.com if you just have to have some attention. It's okay, I miss you too.
