Sorry guys, after 25 to 35 hours of traveling, this was the best we can do! We will meet up with the rest of the group tomorrow when the official tour begins!

Once again I'm happy to report that traditional Chinese food in China is pretty much the same as a "good quality" chinese place back home.

Joey goes right for the booze! (Apparently Jeff thought it was 11% alcohol but then we realized not only is he old but also retarded!)

Yet another reason why international carriers are FAR superior to American airlines. This is what I saw in front of me when I woke up...

First we'll make a quick layover in S. Korea...but don't worry...we will be back to conquer T-Express later in this trip!

Our aircraft of choice...this snazzy Korean Air 747 equipped with all the bad movies you can watch at your finger tips and an outlet to plug your laptop into! Yes, all this in economy!!!

LAX's "old and new" terminals....Um...they look EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!

I was in China a little under two months ago, and I love it over there. The people are so nice to you. The Government is whack, but other than that, it's such a great country. I cannot wait to see all the theme parks y'all go to. I am curious to see what you guys think of Chime-Long Paradise when you get there. Dive Coaster awaits you.

Just DON'T GET ARRESTED!

 

Yeah I was gonna say that too!

 

Anyways I can't wait for these updates the Asia and Europe trips are my favorite you guys do because there are so many antics just "waiting" to be pulled off.

 

Have a good time China!

Good to see that you guys made it over there in one piece. I bet all the tourists are gone and BeiZING is pretty deserted since the Olympics just ended. Perfect timing for a trip.

 

Try to have fun and try not to leave too many people behind from over sleeping!

Wow, an official front-page TPR trip update from a trip I wasn't on? I haven't seen that in like a month!

 

Can't wait for the China trip to really ramp up. The TRs from last year's Japan trip were what made me want to do a TPR trip in the first place.

 

EDIT: I'm sad now that I realize it's been nearly a month since I've been on a TPR trip.
