It's been a while since I've been able to say that!

A few weeks ago I completed my final exams and finished my first semester of intensive Mandarin classes. I did well on both my listening and reading/writing classes, and 'ok' in my speaking class. The week after classes ended I found myself busy doing, well, nothing! I went from 4 hours a day of classes, and several hours of studying, to not having a daily routine. To tell you the truth -- I'm bored!

Luckily, Nate has reminded me that I shouldn't be since I have several things to blog about, and several photo albums to work on getting posted! Yea...so, here's the very overdue Laos album with a lot more pictures from the trip - click here.

Next up? In the past month we've visited a city outside of Shanghai for a friends' wedding, Taipei, and Beijing.

Enjoy!
