Moving blogs

We are going to change blogging servers, because as I quickly found out today, you can't access any website with the word "blog" in its title from China. Oh yes, by the way, we are in Beijing!!

Our new blog site is krivesinchina.wordpress.com

In the meantime, our flight across the Pacific was uneventful. We ate, watched movies, and slept. Our baggage arrived safely, something which frequent travelers don't take for granted.

China was quite a bit different than I expected. We haven't traveled very far yet. Our friends live close to the airport. But the grass was very green everywhere, buildings were very spread out, and the roads were well-maintained. Once we go downtown I'm sure we'll get a different impression.

Now, the journey has begun.

On our way!



Well, I am in the Vancouver International Airport as I write. We are on our way to China! We are so excited. We've had a few complications, but in the end, everything has worked out.

Here's a picture!
