Leavin' on a jet plane...
I get on the plane to Beijing in a few hours. Very *exciting*. The Cunninghams, parents of my friend Colby, were kind hosts for myself and my travel buddy Jen today, so I have borrowed Internet access for the moment.
We had many interesting discussions about libraries, librarianship, the task of archiving the Cunningham visual history (I will, no doubt, be making project plan notes for them in the margins of my journal this week), quantum physics readers' advisory, and copyright law. Sounds heavy, but it was light and fun.
It feels weird, yet liberating, to travel without my laptop. Finding net access as necessary will be quite the cultural adventure.
Alright, time to get ready to go to the airport and meet the rest of the delegation. When we finally hit Hong Kong, it'll be March 12 in China, but March 11 in the US. I can already tell time zones are gonna be a hoot.
See you on the other side...
