Introduction: China, straw hats, you.

Emmet and I are spending our semester abroad in various exotic locales, and we've decided to share our adventures with you. Currently I am in the Christmas Islands, a small peninsula adjacent to the North Pole. Emmet is in Peninsula, OH. In a week we plan to bicycle to China, where we will visit the Great Wall. As esteemed bloggers, we will take pictures so you, viewer, can vicariously enjoy our experience. Perhaps you will imagine yourselves right there with us, in China, saying Ni-hao to the straw-hatted passersby.
