Hale, Eric, and Moo! is our new blog. By us, I mean Hale, Preston, and me. Thats the new blog and starting after tomorrow, this blog is going to be inactive. Thanks for reading!

My Plans For This Blog

Although this is a Summer Blog, I am thinking of making a new one that I can continue using after this summer is over. The main purpose of this blog, was to post my daily experiences in China. As I am now back, this will continue until school begins. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Airplanes and Friends

As some of you might have known, my parents are coming to China today, on CA 982. So far, most of my friends have come back from summer camp! (YAY!!!) That means, I will actually have someone to talk to (sorry Preston, but just talking to you is kinda boring, but fun!). Just to tell you guys, there is a 12 hour time difference, so I will be online probably in your morning or night. Please IM me!!! My AIM is: eli8527, Gtalk is: ericyoungli@gmail.com (idk if u need the "@gmail.com) and my Skype is: eli8527. 

Eric!

What I've Been Up To The Past Two Days.

7/5/08

I went with some of my relatives on a relatively private tour of the Olympic Green. We took the car to the Main Press Center (MPC), where we went on a private tour (along with several other families) of the main press workrooms, the AP workrooms, along with a tour of the hotel in the MPC.  We also got to see the main conference room, where they will hold all the announcements, etc. The hotel, is owned by the Bei Chen Group, whose president let us go on the private tour. We went all the way to the top of the hotel, the 16th floor, where we were able to see the National Aquatics Center (Water Cube) and also the National Stadium (Birds Nest). After that, we were treated to a 12-course lunch at the hotel's restaurant, where the food, was, horrible, yet expensive. Just to tell you guys, I got to see all this stuff, before the general public gets to see it. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get a good web hoster. 

7/6/08

I got new glasses today, along with a ton of food. I also sent out 6 postcards that should arrive in the next 10-15 days, but it should be earlier.

Today, I got a new violin. Thats pretty much all I did today.  ): 

What I've Been Doing So Far

I've been really busy these past days, shopping and stuff. I also am getting settled down too. Look for postcards in 2 weeks or so.

Hola From Beijing!

Hi everyone! This is my first post from Beijing, China! I am here for the 2008 Summer Olympics! Staying at my Grandmas house, which is only about 1 mile away from the olympics. Our flight (CA982) got humongo delayed so we had to wait about an hour. Luckily, the food is good, but McDonalds here for breakfast is expensive. I had to spend $4(US) for breakfast! ITS A SCANDAL. ITS AN OUTRAGE. Well, all is well, I am posting from my Grandma's friends house as we do not have DSL YET. It's coming tomorrow for me. 12 hour time difference from Beijing and CT. 14 hour time difference between here and Denver. I'll post my pictures from the journey here later.

Long Time No Post.

Well, its been an exciting past five days here in Greenwich. Preston came and went, we had tons of fun. I wish he could have stayed longer. The ice cream social, sleepovers, and New York City were extremely fun, especially with Preston and Hale. Stay tuned for about 500 pictures from his visit. I'm going to Beijing on the 28, so I might not be posting as often. I will try to though.
