Blog Post One: The Phantom Menace

While I adore my friends' "Day One" entries regarding their arrivals, my "Day One" (and, in fact, most of Day Two) will be consumed by travel alone. I'm driving to Omaha, where I will then fly to Chicago, where I will proceed to sit for 6 or 7 hours, then fly across the rest of the country and over the Pacific (which will also involve significantly more sitting for significantly more hours), sit around the Seoul airport for another 7 hours, and then take a 90 minute flight to Nanjing. I've equipped myself with an Economist, my Chinese textbook, a few movies, Watchmen, Team of Rivals, and the admission that I'll likely be buying several airport wi-fi memberships.
