Hey everyone yesterday was the longest day of my life. We were on the plane for days. So it is now 730 on wednesday morning and we are going to our welcome ceremony. I am not sure what that is going to be about. It is crazy here it seems the people never sleep. We arrived in Xi'an at midnight- our flight was delayed from Beijing- they finally had rain (after months of drought so who are we to complain). We arrived at the dorms at 1230 and tried to get some sleep. Since i left Saskatoon i only have slept a few hours on the flight to Beijing and finally got 4 hours in a row while waiting on the plane to get out of Beijing. Now we are up and walking around, waiting for the others. So far there is not alot of difference in the height of people. But the morning sun is filled with industrial smog, not praire brightness.
So far nothing else has happened. On the way from the last airport driving through town was interesting. It was like the people do not sleep. They were all hanging outside smoking and cooking and having a good time. There were also lots of store fronts open- alot of oil supply shops and mechanic shops.
We will have a tour today of our facilities then have lunch and rest time. Tomarrow we start off with lectures and getting into the homework. Great ;)
I will keep you posted as much as i can. Love you lots
Hugs Mandy

Hi Mandy - Good to hear you have arrived safe and sound... I am looking forward to hearing about your adventures...when you will find the time to update this site, though, may prove a challenge in itself.
Take care,
