3/23/2005, Leaving for China tomorrow

I just wanted to put in an entry to mark my travel plans.  I'll be in China from 3/24/2005 to 4/6/2005 (Japan time).  That's 3/23/2005 to 4/5/2005 in Pacific time.  I'll be staying with my friend David Dewey in Hangzhou.  I'll arrive in Shanghai, meet David at the airport, and head to Hangzhou by train from there.  David has been living in China for around 2 years total, I think.  His Chinese is about 4 times better than my Japanese.  Really impressive.

Here's my flight itinerary for my mom, my school, or anybody else who might actually want to know.

• 3/24/2005 (Thursday), Kansai International Airport, 2:00 PM, Shanghai Airlines flight FM 822, departure.
• 3/24/2005 (Thursday), Shanghai Pudong Airport, 3:30 PM, arrival in China.
• 4/6/2005 (Wednesday), Shanghai Pudong Airport, 10:20 AM, Shanghai Airlines flight FM 821, departure.
• 4/6/2005 (Wednesday), Kansai International Airport, 1:00 PM, arrival in Japan.

For the time I'll actually be in Hangzhou, I'll be staying with David at the Hangzhou Foreign Language School, which will provide me an inexpensive room with an internet connection.  I should be able to check my email at least some of the time, but I may not reply until I get back.
