Hiya, kids! Pardon the radio silence here the last few weeks. I’ve been chatting your ears off over in the Conversations section, and I’ve had my hands full wrapping up a top secret project that I’ll hopefully be able to share when I get back.

Anyway, in the morning I depart for Shanghai! I’m not sure what the schedule will be like this week, what with it being Chinese New Year and all, but I’ll make sure to stop by the ChinesePod offices and remind them what I look like. (Poor bastards. Momma always said I had a great face for radio.)

I’ll make sure to pop back here while I’m away and leave periodic trip reports. There may even be pictures!

Stay tuned!

(Oh, and I haven’t had a single chance to, you know, study Chinese for weeks now. You may consider me officially nervous.)
