michael has scooped me -- and shamed me back into blogging -- by reporting on my own life before i got around to it. and from western desert china, no less! yep, i recently bought tickets on continental's newark-to-beijing direct, departing 12/26, returning 1/15 (just $734 incl. tax!). it will be cold there, but i did it once before. the current plan is to buy giant yak-fur coats upon arrival.
the current tentative plan is: beijing, a flight to korla (xinjiang), then back along the silk road to lanzhou (gansu), get some tibetan flava in xiahe (review, info, pics) or langmusi (review, info) (gansu province), some spicy flava in chengdu (sichuan province), and maybe yunnan if we can make it that far south in time. as well as shanghai if we can fit it in! yay!
