Dates in Beijing: June 23 until August 19.

I hope to arrive in Nanjing on Saturday, September 8. The other cities I mentioned previously (has it really been a month?) will be squeezed in in-between. (Although I might be able to squeeze Taiyuan into a long weekend in July).

Time is drawing very near. I was hoping to savor Yi-Fu Tuan’s new book Coming Home to China on the plane and while in Beijing, but it’s a small book, and I might devour it before I leave because I lack self-control. Besides, why would I take up space in my luggage with a small book.
