3 Weeks before I leave

---

My journey will begin in Beijing. There, I will be a tourist for about ten days. I plan to make my way to Shanghai and will attend school at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University in Hangzhou.

When I think about this trip, I can't help but remember when I left for Denmark. Almost 10 years ago I was an exchange student for one year in Copenhagen. I had never traveled before and made a "few" mistakes regarding packing. Luggage comes to mind. We called it the "luggage from hell". . . Even though I won't be backpacking, I've learned to spend money on good luggage. So, I will post a picture of what I will not do.
