Welcome to the Rock!

In 2 days time, I'll be on a 14 hour flight to China for the remainder of the summer. As promised, here's my attempt to keep people updated on my adventures through the Mother Country. "Why is Andy going to China?" you might be asking. Well, I'll be in Shanghai for a week hanging out with my aunt and uncle and trying to meet with some sports marketing executives and then I'm off to Beijing for a 4 week study abroad program in management at the University of International Business and Economics. I'm looking forward to eating great Chinese food, learning more about about the Chinese business culture, and buying cheap counterfeit goods. haha.



So, what have I been doing in LA? The answer is not a whole lot. Just hanging out with friends, doing some shopping, went to San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay to visit a friend, saw the dress rehearsal for Pageant of the Masters in Laguna, and eating great food that I don't get to eat living in Eugene.

I went to go watch March of the Penguins today. It's a great documentary on the emperor penguins. It was a remarkable movie filmed in Antarctica and I gotta admit that my favorite part of Sea World has always been the penguin exhibit. Also, the preview for Murderball looked pretty cool. Wheelchair rugby looks pretty intense.
