Yes, I know I have way too many vacations in this country. When in Rome…<\/p>\n

The National Holiday is quickly coming and I have my travel plans set…almost. I really only have one place I want to go at this time (for a 7-8 day holiday).\u00a0 It is a lovely place called Changbaishan (\u957f\u767d\u5c71), which means “forever white mountain”. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Sounds cold, I know… Let me tell you about it:<\/p>\n

Changbaishan is a mountain that lies on the border of North Korea and China (in Jilin Province).\u00a0 It is a dormant volcano with a lake in the middle (sort of like our Crater Lake in Oregon).\u00a0 Here’s a photo I stole from a website:<\/p>\n

This is the lake on top of the volcano. It’s called “Heavenly Lake” \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

Another view of the lake. \ud83d\ude42 I’m so excited!<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope that it’s not too difficult to get there. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 I’ll most likely be traveling with three other people this time around. No need to worry about my safety.\u00a0(Although I am close to N Korea)<\/p><\/div>\n

In other news: I haven’t experienced any of the protests (Japan – listen to the news). I don’t feel unsafe and life is pretty normal right now. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 We are suspending our B studies for a couple weeks until after the Shi Ba Da (changing of the government…) I’ll be using my new found “free” time to hang out with my Chinese friends \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
