Ni Hao!
After several weeks of preparation, we are all excited to be boarding the plane in a few days. Last-minute packing is underway, as we eagerly await that first 4:00 AM bus trip from Bloomington to Indianapolis (maybe eagerly is a bit too strong of a word). The first leg of the trip includes a flight from Indy to Detroit, after which we will be flying to Shanghai. Finally, we will take a three-hour bus ride from Shanghai to Hangzhou, where we will be checking in to the Friendship Hotel late Sunday night:

Along the way, we will be posting pictures and videos (if possible) of our journey. I hope you can follow along with us!
Zai Jian (for now)...
