What I've been up to

In the past five days, I've:
- read Running with Scissors
- climbed the Great Wall in the fog
- taken a luge type thing down from the Great Wall
- discovered my Mandarin isn't as forgotten as I thought
- wandered through the Forbidden City in the rain
- gone shopping
- been amazed by how much Shenyang continues to change

Oh, yeah - I'm in China.

...yeh. Too bad you couldn't see my expression. I was about to check the URL, header and source to make sure I'm seeing what I'm seeing. This blogging is eerie - I was still seeing you making pesto in the kitchen.
