Final Stateside Post

We made it safely to Chicago and have boarded the big plane to Shanghai. We're on a Boeing 777, with 9 seats in each row. Some students are disappointed that we're not in First Class, but that was a bit out of our price range.

Everyone is sending their final texts and messages before we take off. A friendly flight attendant has stopped to chat with us.

I won't be able to post another update until we reach our hotel in Hangzhou, so there won't be any new posts for at least 18 hours.

Zaijian!
