On a different note, I'm packing pretty light for the trip, and so I've stuffed everything into my hiking backpack, which will help me a lot with lugging it everywhere. But I've decided to take only 12 CDs with me (gasp), and so here's the list:
- Enter the Worship Circle: First Circle, 100 Portraits and Waterdeep (awesome disc, simple worship)See you soon.
- Chase The Sun, The OC Supertones (upbeat ska about Jesus, never fails to bring a smile to my face)
- Illuminate, David Crowder Band (amazing lyrics)
- Undone, MercyMe (Bart Millard has an amazing way with lyrics that really resonates with me)
- Self-Titled & Much Afraid, Jars of Clay (no explanation necessary)
- Self-Titled, Nickel Creek (amazing musicality, good reading music)
- Myself When I Am Real, Bebo Norman (mellow, deep, Jesus - I'm a fan)
- New Way To Be Human, Switchfoot (my go-to disc for solid rock)
- Reverence, Timber (Brings me back to Xtreme Camp 2000, and that's a good thing)
- Lost November (and some random stuff), Jack Withers (I'm strongly against pirating/"borrowing" music, but I love this disc so much that I had to jack it - his songs are amazing)
- Self-Titled, Yellowcard (SOLID ROCK that's not boring - I love it)
"It’s the song of the redeemed
Rising from the African plain
It’s the song of the forgiven
Drowning out the Amazon rain
The song of Asian believers
Filled with God’s holy fire
It’s every tribe, every tongue, every nation
A love song born of a grateful choir
It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
It’s all God’s children singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
Let it rise about the four winds
Caught up in the heavenly sound
Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
To the faithful gathered underground
Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
Some were meant to persist
Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
None rings truer than this
And all the powers of darkness
Tremble at what they’ve just heard
‘Cause all the powers of darkness
Can’t drown out a single word
When all God’s children sing out
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns
All God’s people singing
Glory, glory, hallelujah
He reigns, He reigns"
(He Reigns, Newsboys)

Hope you have an awesome, safe trip, dude.
woot china
if you don't get this in time you'll just have to discover these things for yourself-
packs of tissue are essential.. you don't get napkins and you don't get toilet paper.. and it's for wiping off the sweat too as it's almost 100F in beijing at the moment
...the toilets... but you'll be fine, you're a guy
you might get ripped off if you don't haggle with shopkeepers (only on the streets)
shopkeepers and people in general might seem impolite, but they're not trying to
virtually all media is bootleg
even if the cars don't stay in lanes, don't worry, they probably won't hit you
I think that's about it. have a good trip max.
