Happy New Year

Happy 2009 to all and welcome to the "Gould in China 2009" blog. Of course the Chinese New Year doesn't begin until January 26th, so perhaps this greeting is a bit premature. 2009 is the Year of the Ox on the Chinese calendar and will begin less than a month before we travel to China with the class of 2012. This blog will provide useful information as we prepare for this year's Four Point trip. Once we are on the trip you can follow our travels on this blog. So check back regularly. Please note that all posts are time stamped with China time so I really didn't write this in the middle of the night.
