Arrived in Beijing without my bag. Spent time at the hostel in Beijing trying to track it down as well as exploring the city.

Also discovered that I am unable to access my blog as it is blocked in China so will need to send the information to my parents and have them post on the site. They will also send any responses to my blog through my e-mail.

After taking a class in Chinese brush painting, I went to Inner Mongolia. I am pictured here with Genhgis Khan.

Upon arriving back in Beiiing I discovered that my bag had been found at the L.A. airport and shipped to Beijing. It was delivered the next day to the hostel. While I packed light, all that I did bring was important.
