It's been a while since I last posted an entry, and for that, I apologize. I have no real excuse other than the fact that I've been preparing for my upcoming trip!
In case you haven't figured it out yet, I am in China. Since I'm in China I get to celebrate the Chinese New Year. And by celebrate, I mean I get almost an entire month off.
Hello, travel! And goodbye, sitting-in-my-room-feeling-useless!
I'll be heading up North with a few other foreigners where we'll enjoy those great Northern experiences: snowboarding, frostbite, skiing and numb toes.
Our ultimate destination is Harbin, which is currently -21°C.
Why are we going up to the Russian border in ridiculously cold weather? Do we have a deathwish? Are we masochists? Why leave cold weather just to experience even colder weather?
I do not know. If I survive the cold I'll give you answers when I have them.
That being said, I may possibly be taking a hiatus from this blog for the time that I am travelling. I am not certain if where I end up will have easily accessible computers, or if I'll have any typing fingers left after frostbite.
I will, however, be keeping a journal while I am travelling and when I get back you can read all about my misadventures.
Here's a map of where we'll be going. It should take 2-3 weeks to hit everything, but we're not entirely certain as most of the trip is going to be a spontaneous, hope-for-best, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants ordeal.

The path in red is for certain and will include taking at least one bus, train and boat. The path in blue is for the way home and hasn't been decided 100% yet, it'll depend on time and money and whatnot.
