Six Days Until China

Filed under: Campus, Classes — jerry @ 6:26 am

That’s right. Our ETBU travel study & BSM group goes to Beijing via DFW and SFO this next Monday. Our itinerary once we are there is under reconsideration — more on that later. In reading Peter Jenkins’ eighties book Across China about his trip to Tibet, Everest base camp, and China, I noticed that he passed through Lanzhou but wrote hardly a word about it! Other places warranted more print, I guess, but, then, as the coastal Chinese say, Lanzhou is so “remote”. Not any more.

  1. Yeah, a remote city that has about one million people living in it. The coastal Chinese need to get out more. LOL!

    Ready to go!
