		<description><![CDATA[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&#8217;s over, here are some tips on how best to view the blog:

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I didn&#8217;t get sick all the time I was in China&#8230;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 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[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. I&#8217;m stuck in Memphis and they weren&#8217;t going to get me home until tomorrow!!! That&#8217;s two broken plane cancellations out of four legs on the journey&#8230;
Originally, I got told [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;m in the Memphis Airport, ready to fly to Tallahassee. I figured I&#8217;d have to do one last food picture, when I saw that Jim Neely&#8217;s Interstate Bar-B-Q had an outlet at the airport (and because Northwest Airlines screwed up several times (no surprise there) I got a voucher for $10 at an airport [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason this is called &#8220;Part 1&#8243; instead of &#8220;Day 1&#8243; is that many impressions of Huangshan are built collectively over your stay here. Rather than give a narrative description of what I did in a timeline, I think that connecting ideas from the entire stay will work better. I hope you agree.
It&#8217;s really strange, [...]]]></description>

So, upon waking on Saturday the 10th, I checked with the hotel reception desk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a little out of range the past few days, with lots of stories to tell. Huangshan was awesome! I didn&#8217;t go to Anji, because it looked like arranging the transportation was going to be a big hassle and I didn&#8217;t know how long it might take me to get back out of there, [...]]]></description>

Today, I went teapot shopping. As some of you know, I really like Chinese tea and Yixing teapots (teapot is 茶壶, or [...]]]></description>

I went to bed very early last night, about 7PM, since I was tired after riding a bike around town all day. [...]]]></description>

Once again, like in Hangzhou, you get the hang of the place after a couple of days, which makes it easier to get around. One [...]]]></description>
