To Myanmar and China

Hello Again!

It's been quite a while since my last post on April 16th 2014. Since then I've returned to CT, graduated high school, and signed up for another big trip. This time I'll be going to China and Myanmar (formerly known as Burma). I'll be traveling with a student group and we'll be studying river cities. More on that later.

I hope to post semi-regularly, but I'm worried about the Great Firewall in China that prevents the use of Facebook, Youtube, and often cracks down on the use of google sites. I also have no idea what the firewall is like in Myanmar. Still, I have a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that will hopefully create a little portal into those blocked sites.

First stop on our trip is Shanghai...

I lived there for five months last year, but I'm excited to go back to see old friends and explore Shanghai by studying the rivers that the city relies on. 

Until then, I've got a lot of packing to do!
