T-Minus 10 Days

I am 10 days away from my second trip to Asia. I'll be visiting Japan for a while with my friend Antonia and then I'm off to Beijing for my Global Consultancy assignment with Tal & Marnie.

General Trip Timeline:
May 13/14: Fly Cincinnati to Chicago to Tokyo
May 14: Recover from Jetlag
May 15-22: Tokyo, Mt. Fuji (maybe), Kyoto
May 22 - June 24: Beijing, China

Things to Do Before Departure:

1. Get Chinese Visa - Check!
2. Finish final papers / exams
   
3. Contact bank so they don't cancel my card for international charges
4. Pack
5. Collect books & movies to take on the plane
6. Pick some hostels in Japan
7. Setup blog - Check!
8. Setup Skype account - Check!

In Beijing, we will be staying at Beijing Century Towers in a 3 BR/ 2 BA apartment. It has a kitchen so we'll be able to cook most of our meals and I've read that there is a market right across the street!

Tal, Marnie & I will be posting to this blog while in Beijing to document our trip.
