I bin in Harbin

So here are the pictures from North Korea. The first few are from Dandong, the bridge is a random bridge that goes halfway across the river to North Korea and stops. The middle pictures on the boat are from a scenic area a few hours Northeast of Dandong, and the last few on the boat are from the trip to the North Korean mainland (almost). We were about twenty feet away. It was pretty cool. Also, in Dandong, they have a tower that shoots a giant laser into North Korea for some reason.

Well I got back to Harbin last night after 3 days in Dan Dong on the North Korean border. It was a fun trip and I'll give a full overview later.

Right now though our Harbin situation is a little complicated. In typical Chinese fashion HaGongDa University reacted to this H1N1 situation by cancelling class for two weeks. In order to avoid messing up our study situation, CET moved our fall vacation to next week, and everyone is just really confused.

So now I don't have class for two weeks, and can't really travel because we don't have time to make detailed travel plans.

On top of all of that, we're approaching the 60th anniversary of the Glorious People's Republic of China, which is a really busy travel time, and really difficult for foreigners to get around the country.

But I had delicious Pizza Hut pizza, so it's all good.
