The time has almost come...

Well my peoples soon I will be heading off to the motherland. My flight leaves early in the morning on Monday. The days here seem to go by almost instantaneously the closer I get to leaving. I will miss all of my family and friends (and probably English too,hehe) while I am gone. I will think about everyone often. I am going to try and make a conscious effort to blog a few times a week while I am in China. Hopefully I will have some good stories to tell...^_^ The best way to get a hold of me if anyone is interested is probably online through my email (adamabarth@hotmail.com) or facebook and myspace. I am online usually every night and I will try to respond as quick as possible. I am planning on buying a cell phone and some calling cards once I get settled in. After I do I will post my number on here. I will be attending Yunnan Normal University (Shi Da, in Chinese) and I will be living in a city called Kunming.

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan province which borders Vietnam, Laos, Mynmar, and Tibet. Yunnan is the most ethnically diverse province in China so I will have a great opportunity to meet many different people! I really want to travel a lot and go to some places that will be close to me. My goal for the next year is to make it to... Nepal, India, and Japan. Who knows if I can make it to these countries, but hopefully I can figure it out. Also I want to travel all over China and I think I will take a trip to Beijing to visit my Chinese teacher from SCSU and my friend Candy. Close to me I there are two cities I want to go and see...Dali and Chengdu. I am starting to ramble now, cuz there are so many places I want to go. The list could go on for forever...hehe. I posted a few pictures on here so you can see what Kunming and Yunnan look like.


I am blessed to have this opportunity and excited to make the big move to China. I wish everyone the best while I am gone and I will miss everyone dearly.

One Love
