Tomorrow is a new beginning...
Just over 24 hours in Canada, how crazy, exciting and nerve racking! Obtained Visa, complete packing and all documents are ready to to go. For the past few nights I could hardly sleep as there has been a lot on my mind concerning the millions of things I needed to do. Tomorrow, 11:30 am is my G test. then less then 12 hours later I leave for 10 months.
One suitcase, one duffle bag and one 40L back pack, all set and ready to go. To be quite honest, it hasn't really hit me yet that I am going to such a foreign place. Maybe on the plane, maybe at the airport, but for sure when I land and see the millions of people surrounding me at 5:25 am in the Beijing airport. Finding my way will be a great challenge, but one that I have at least 2 years to prepare for!
Well that is all I can think off for today, hopefully I pass my G test tomorrow and I have a safe flight. I will write more once I land and get some sleep. Enjoy the rest of your summer and this weather because I hear I am in for a huge humidity wave for the next couple of months!
再见 (goodbye) for now :) <3 Steph

Time is ticking
Hey!
So it is now coming down to the wire with just over a week till I head out. I still unfortunately do not have my X student Visa, however I do have my Tourist Visa which will allow me to stay in the country for 30 days. Hopefully is all works out and I get my X Visa in time. What is holding me back right now is my physical examination results as just went to get the tests done on Friday. 5 tubes of my blood, 1 heart test, 1 urine test, eye test, X-rays and an examination from my doctor...going though all of that I should just automatically get the Visa!
Besides all of that, I went to Chapters today and got a pretty exciting travel book for China! I will be planning out my time in China to make sure I see and do some pretty epic things. That way you wont be bored reading my blog guaranteed!
So now my last few days in Canada I will be eating the most "North American" food possible...any suggestions?
Tata for now...

2 Weeks...
Hey all,
Less than 2 weeks till my trip to China. A 14 hour plane ride, miles and miles away and a 10 month journey on the other side of the world. So many unanswered questions...
What to pack?
Where to visit?
What to expect?
just to name a few. Not to mention I have a to-do-list pages and pages long!
So as I hear, there is no FB in China, so I will be using this blog as my way of social communication with you all. I will add photos and descriptions of the cool and awesome places I've been. So I gladly invite you to keep reading and post your comments.
Goodbyes, they are never easy, at least for me. As I say them, it hits me harder and harder that it will be quite some time till I see all your pretty faces again. If I don't see you before I leave, I will miss you and stay in touch!
<3 always Steph
