Maybe I’ll come back and redo the past 11 days that I’ve missed, but most likely not all of them.

Here’s a quick rundown:

Day 4 – Summer Palace
Day 5 – Ming Tombs, Great Wall
Days 6-10 – Shanghai with the group
Day 11 – Temple of Heaven
Days 12-14 (today) – nothing

Actually, days 11-14 have included 4 days of excruciatingly painful massage therapy. Apparently, I’ve got a lot of problems, but this guy is really good. He just makes everything hurt. But somehow, after the pain, everything feels a lot better. Who knows, this guy might not be a quack (as I first suspected) after all. Too bad I have like 12 sessions left with him. That’s 12 days of pain.

In other news, Beijing is an unbelievably distracting place. Hot girls + short skirts + black tights + boots = even more hot. This just means I have to get out of here even more.

I miss America. I’m ready to go home. Home is where your stuff is.
