A note on the latest entries...
Okay faithful readers, I've added a lot of posts today. Honestly, if you only read the part about Hua Shan, you'll be getting the best of my time in Xi'an. And, if you're not inclined to plow through my muddled attempt to give homage to this majestic mountain, at least visit the flickr page to see the pictures. Only, you'll have to wait a bit as the uploading is SLOW going right now. And now, I'll get back to my housekeeping duties. There is dust EVERYWHERE and I've got to figure out how to hang a laundry line from the cooking vent in the kitchen to the water heater in the bathroom (so far, this is the best bet...). Oh, and for those of you concerned about my lip, the swelling is gone completely and it isn't even sore. I was biting it a lot earlier, though, hoping to "pop" it or something, so that's not good. But at least I don't think it's botulism anymore!
