Off to Qingdao!

Many many thanks to Eric and Liz for coming to visit! We had a few more adventures to report on, but that will have to wait. The last two days have been BUSY - because we are getting prepared to leave for Qingdao on Wednesday.

We have been heading up the Model United Nations club at our school, and we will be taking 10 students to a conference in Qingdao this week. I'm looking forward to it.

Qingdao is a city on the ocean in eastern China, roughly halfway between Beijing and Shanghai. Its claim to fame is that it is the home of the 2008 Olympic sailing competition; it was a former German colony prior to WWI; and China's most famous beer brand is brewed here (under the alternate Romanization of "Tsingtao".

I assume we will have internet at the hotel, based on the rate they are charging us! But if not, more blogging on all the vacation and traveling fun will have to wait until we return.
