Countdown to China 2007

I hope I can improve my Chinese by going to China alone-I have rented an apartment in Chebgdu for US$100/mo-I am now looking for someone there to help me learn Chinese. There are 5 weeks befor I leave for China. Our visas are at the Chinese embassy in New York city and I can track them on the webb,I have almost 100 yuan in Chinese money-that is about US$10 but I can use my visa when I get there to get cash. There is much to do here befor I go,cut wood paint the house and other jobs-thanks for looking at my blog-Tim
