Day 1: I’m in CHINA!
It hit about 4 hours into the flight out of LAX. I was flying to a completely different world, (literately) as different as East and West. It was overcast in Beijing when I arrived, drizzling slightly. As I stood in the vast new international terminal waiting for my pack, I realized just how daunting this was going to be. Just getting to the hostel, or even the restroom, was going to be an adventure.
