As part of my National Day Holiday break, I will be heading off to Malaysia on Saturday. Today, I’m leaving for Hong Kong, where I’ll be staying for the night.
I’ll be offline throughout most of the trip, which lasts through Thursday, October 8. I’ll be sure to post pictures once I return!
Now that I have internet, I’ll be blogging more frequently about my experiences in China.
Read all entries about it here.
Because of flooding in Manila, I decided to cancel my National Day Holiday trip to the Philippines yesterday.
The group I was traveling with originally intended to leave Manila immediately upon landing so as to avoid the floods. But after talking to friends both here and back at home, it became clear that our personal safety would still be at risk, especially with another typhoon heading our way.
Instead, six of us will be flying over to Malaysia on Saturday afternoon. This actually works out perfectly for me because I’ve been wanting to go to Malaysia for quite some time. The beaches are supposed to be gorgeous.

Today, the People’s Republic of China celebrates its 60th year as a nation.
Naturally, the government is freaking out over holiday preparations.
