So Far So Good, For The Most Part

This is the first time I've been able to get internet access the past week. I just got back from my trip to Xi'an, Huashan, Luoyang, and Zhengzhou. My flight went pretty poorly, to say the least. I got delayed in Detroit one day because Delta's entire 747 fleet decided to malfunction on the same day. I missed my original train to Xi'an but was able to get another train the next day which left Beijing at 1 in the afternoon and arrived in Xi'an at 4 in the morning. My friends picked me up at the train station and we walked back to our hostel which was on the other side of the city. It was eerie walking through Xi'an at 5 in the morning. No one was out and everything looked deserted. We got the the hostel at 5:30 and had to wake up the clerk to open the door. We were originally going to go right out and see the sights, but when we got to the room we all collapsed on our beds and slept for another three hours. More on Xi'an in the next post.
