I am a third year at Georgia Tech studying Chemical Engineering who loves his music, good food, bboyin', meeting random people, exercising, and chillin' with family and friends. The GT Study Abroad Program in Shanghai is the trip that actually got me to start this blog. Right now, I'm back at Tech for summer semester but I just finished visiting my brother in Boston and will be posting my updates from that soon! Peace.... full info

Wide view of the Mt. Range at sunset

My Sunset Pic on "LOMRR"

Two Photographers

Our 8-person, awesomely cramped hostel room!

A Majestic View of the Moon atop Bright Peak

4:30am faces

Waiting for sunrise

Look at all 'dem tourists!

And each one snapping a flash picture of us instead of the view...most likely because we were out on a precarious rock ledge, but still....

Sunrise 5:30am

This is about as good as it got, ha, sun didn't show it's face above the clouds until about 8am

Where we sat for sunrise

Birght Summit

Where that one guy is standing

Monkey!!

It's a bit blurry cause he started rushing me and I decided it would be best to back off a bit, ha.
