圣诞节快乐！

It's Christmas day.  We're in our house in Seoul, and it's been freezing outside the past few days.  Today, around 14-20 all day.  The big present this year was a custom suit by this guy Jeff met here back in 1994.  Very nice korean man.

So far we've just shopped around (since that's about all there is to do).  Luckily everything is supper cheap.  We leave for China on Saturday, so the day, it's coming quick.  We'll first go to HongKong, then Beijing, then on Jan 2 I head out to Anna's house in FuZhou.  The 4th or 5th of Jan I leave for HeFei for my internship.  

Sounds busy, but really the traveling is the only busy part.  We're not really doing much.  

I don't really have any pre-departure thoughts.  I'm excited to get to China, and I really hope I see the improvement in my Mandarin that others have seen when they visited for a long time.
