After a quick flight to Newark, we were on the plane to Beijing. Until then, the longest plane ride I had ever taken was 4 hours so this 13+ hour flight was going to be interesting to say the least. There isn't really much to say about the flight other than it was long and I watched the flight plan on the TV for probably 2 hours. Once the plane landed it finally dawned on me, Holy shit I'm in China. After that realization came another one, Damnit we have to get on another plane putting our flight total to 3 flights in one day. Finally we arrived in Wuhan where we were greeted by Steve Wilmarth, our on the ground contact. Once we got to the Hotel we dropped our bags and took a walk around this eerily quiet shopping area. After the walk it was time for some much needed sleep in our hotel rooms.
The next morning we went and got some traditional Wuhan food and then headed out to a Buddhist temple.
After the temple it was on to a museum where we saw all sorts of ancient chinese history and watched a traditional bells performance. I thought the bells were interesting because music is a passion of mine and I like to experience different music. Once we left the museum it was time to go meet our host families and get to know what family life is like in China.
