Rolling On

Well, I have not been able to really dial in on my studies, given the craziness of the holiday season and packing, but I am now in Portland staying with a friend for a week before I fly to Qingdao for a 6-month internship, which I hope to follow up with a few weeks in Suzhou and Wuxi. This morning I am looking over some books about Chinese landscaping that my friend Kenneth aloud me to check out on his PSU library card. Then if the skies clear up a bit, I hope to check out the acclaimed Chinese garden found here in pdx. The architects were supposedly from Suzhou, but more on this garden later. Hopefully this week will be a nice kickstart for my studies into Chinese landscaping.
