Flickr

I really want to upload all my pictures on the trip for all to see, unfortunately on the boat we are only given very limited internet time (150 minutes I believe for the entire semester!). However, I am given unlimited emails! Since this blog site does not allow me to upload pictures through email, I have created a flickr account.

My username for that is vic41234. I have also put a gadget on this blog that will show the most recent pictures I have uploaded (sorry for removing the fish, that was a placeholder for the flickr gadget). So now I should have no trouble uploading all my pictures for you guys to see!

Sleeping on the Great Wall

I just booked my trip to sleeping on the Great Wall. For all fellow Semester at Sea students, I am doing this trip through China Guide.

I am particularly excited about this China trip. How many people can honestly say they slept on the Great Wall? Not only do we get to sleep on the Great Wall, but we get to zip line, hike, see an acrobatic show, and see some exciting things about the Chinese New Years.

After looking at some pictures of the Great Wall, it is covered in snow! I have no idea how I am going to pack for sleeping on the wall when there is snow covered everywhere! But regardless, this trip is one of the ones I am most looking forward to.

Have a Happy New Year everyone!
