I'm in China!

Well, I made it to Shanghai, China a week ago last night, and it's been a whirlwind ever since I touched down and I haven't had time for a proper update yet.  

...And I still don't right now, so this is just a quickie to confirm that I am here, I am taller than almost everyone, I'm the only one with a beard, I still can't read or speak Mandarin, and the food is (for the most part) amazing.  

I haven't taken as many pictures as I had planned, but I got some good phone-shots, so I'll post those soon. (This one is the view out the living room window on a slightly hazy day.)  And then I'll bust out the good camera and the little video recorder and post the results.
