Christchurch to Gansu!

Scott and I departed Christchurch Airport bound for Lanzhou, via Auckland and Shanghai, on Monday September 4th. We were both excited to finally be on our way after hearing so many positive comments about Gansu from last years participants. We arrived in Shanghai on Tuesday morning after a sleepless night on the plane. After transferring to Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport we *finally* boarded our plane to Lanzhou. When we arrived at Lanzhou Airport we were met by Yuan Mei (Mary), the Program Manager of the Foreign Affairs Office at Lanzhou University. We were taken to the University campus that is to be our home for the next 4 months. The Guest House we were are staying is very comfortable. Although I have a feeling that only having hot water at certain times of the day may prove interesting .............
