Ben's China Adventure

I'm Ben, a 22 year-old Senior at the University of Colorado. I spent a year living in Yunnan and am now back for a month cultivating guanxi. You can follow my adventures here. Will I eat a dog (again?) Become a Maoist(no, but i took the sacred pilgrimage to his birthplace)? Can I learn Chinese (yes)? Will I hunt pandas (sadly no)? Will I be the tallest person in the country (only in the south)? You'll have to stay tuned to find out.
