Hi! My name is Scott Keller and I visited China from October 3, 2007 to November 15, 2007. This blog is about the trip, but now that it’s over, here are some tips on how best to view the blog:
1. If you don’t like the color scheme, the yellow, green and blue buttons above the […]

Well, I didn’t get sick all the time I was in China…I waited until I got home for that! As it turned out, I could use the meal vouchers ($20 total) from Northwest Airlines at the airport, so I had a big breakfast (I use the breakfast term loosely, as I had more Bar-B-Q from […]

OK, so Creedence Clearwater Revival was singing about Lodi, California. I had a bad day yesterday, as did everyone trying to get to Tallahassee on Northwest.

What I will do is to create another page called “Links”, […]

A little over a week away…

Well, the tension is building. I just got over a couple of days in bed being sick. That’s going to put more stress on my job, since I have a few things I really have to get done before I leave. Now, it’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m wide awake. So, I guess […]

Beijing…what else can be said?

So much has been written about Beijing, especially about the tourist spots, that this should be a fairly short post. I’ll try to concentrate on the things I’ve run across that have not been beaten to death…

tour-beijing.com has a good section about 2/3 […]
