Testing, testing, how do you work this blogging thing, my mind is unravelling so soon...

Hello! I have a blog! And I set it all up without any help! I'm very proud of myself right now.

Yeah, this is basically to test I know how to use a blogging site. It was brought to my attention that I may not be able to use Facebook in China (thankyou Jess!), so just in case that is so, here's yet another way for me to keep in touch. Proper posts will start once I'm in China, but until then, here's progress so far.

Just picked up my visa today, still got to get final jabs, chinese money, bank account, and student finance all sorted before I fly away on Friday. Yes it's cutting it a bit fine, but it wouldn't be fun otherwise, now would it? I'm massively excited to be hurtling off now with less than five days to go, and still so much to do!

Had a cracking meal out with the family on Saturday, at Ling di Long, the chinese restaurant in lampeter. So that'll be the last time I have 'british' chinese food in a year, no more prawn crackers for me. Got to love the name too- chinese and welsh at the same time! See what they did there? (N.b: ling-di-long is welsh for walking slowly while swaying from side to side. Add it to your top ten best words list!)

So aye, with less than a week remaining and a million and one things to do, the Chinese adventure begins here! Posts will be coming to this site once I've arrived. Until then, hwyl fawr, zaijian, cheerio!
